In the second Critique, Kant argues that for the highest good to be possible we need to postulate the existence of God and the immortality of the soul in a future world. In his other writings, however, he suggests that the highest good is attainable through mere human agency in this world. Based on the apparent incoherence between these texts, Andrews Reath, among others, argues that Kant’s texts reveal two competing conceptions of the highest good, namely a secular and a theological conception. In this paper, I argue that Kant has a coherent conception of the highest good which applies to two different domains, namely the domain of the individual humans and the domain of the human species.

康德的至善连贯理论

在第二个批判中，康德认为，为了使最高的善成为可能，我们需要假设上帝的存在和灵魂在未来世界中的不朽。然而，在他的其他著作中，他认为最高的善是可以通过这个世界上的人类行为来实现的。基于这些文本之间明显的不连贯性，安德鲁斯·瑞斯（Andrews Reath）等人认为康德的文本揭示了两个相互竞争的至善概念，即世俗概念和神学概念。在本文中，我认为康德对最高善有一个连贯的概念，它适用于两个不同的领域，即个体人类的领域和人类物种的领域。
