PINON GAYTAN, Francisco. El problema ético en la filosofía de Kant. Polít. cult. [online]. 2013, n.39, pp.99-112. ISSN 0188-7742.

In a way, Kant's philosophy is the basis of enlightened reason. In their approaches, the rule of reason appears united to historicity. Kant founds the conception of man's autonomy in modernity: the realm of freedom cannot be regulated or imprisoned for things, is the same man who, by reason guides their actions. In an ethical plane, duty is not something that is imposed from the outside, but an a priori postulate of reason. In this sense, the moral conscience is autonomous, self-imposed as a duty, as a categorical imperative. The reason appears to be the only lawmaker and knew, and history no longer be seen as a plan of the gods but to men's workmanship.

Keywords : reason, ethics; autonomy; categorical imperative; duty.
