Based on Kant’s own concept of politics, it is possible to construct his political philosophy that is related to but also different from his metaphysics of right. Politics is the practice of realizing the principles of right in experience; therefore, Kant’s political philosophy must explore the general conditions that make this practice possible. These conditions, such as political judgement, publicity and the enlightenment of the people, are indispensable to Kant’s thinking about human external freedom but do not belong to the metaphysics of right. Kant’s metaphysics of right is undoubtedly a liberal theory, but we can also identify some republican elements in his political philosophy. In this way, Kant provides us with a very instructive programme to absorb republican elements within a liberal theory.

康德的政治哲学作为 ausübende Rechtslehre

以康德自己的政治观为基础，可以构建出与他的权利形而上学相关但又有所不同的政治哲学。政治是在经验中实现正义原则的实践；因此，康德的政治哲学必须探索使这种实践成为可能的一般条件。这些条件，如政治判断、宣传和人民的启蒙，是康德关于人的外部自由的思考所不可缺少的，但不属于权利的形而上学。康德的权利形而上学无疑是一种自由主义理论，但我们也可以在他的政治哲学中找到一些共和主义的成分。通过这种方式，康德为我们提供了一个非常有启发性的方案，可以在自由主义理论中吸收共和主义元素。
