Abstract:
In the Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals, Kant gives several formulations of the categorical imperative, one being the universal law of nature formulation. One question that can be raised is why Kant formulates the categorical imperative in terms of universal laws of nature at all. In this paper, I will argue that it is necessary for Kant to formulate the categorical imperative in terms of universal laws of nature in order to demonstrate the applicability of the moral law to our maxims and hence the possibility of the moral law as a functional practical principle.

A partir da consciência do dever, a liberdade humana deve ser entendida, segundo Kant, como condição e fundamento da lei moral. De que modo conciliar, entretanto, a liberdade das ações com a obediência a uma lei? A fim de responder a essa questão, trata-se de distinguir os conceitos kantianos de "liberdade transcendental", "liberdade prática" e "autonomia". Em linhas gerais, a liberdade transcendental depende da solução da Crítica da razão pura à terceira antinomia, operada pela distinção fenômeno/coisa em si, que torna as afirmações sobre a necessidade da natureza e sobre a liberdade da vontade proposições não contraditórias. Por sua vez, a liberdade prática, ainda de acordo com a primeira Crítica, designa aquilo que comumente se entende por livre-arbítrio, pressuposto da responsabilidade moral dos agentes. Quanto ao conceito kantiano de autonomia, ele é tematizado explicitamente, pela primeira vez, na Fundamentação da metafísica dos costumes, e apresenta-se como a terceira dentre as fórmulas principais do imperativo categórico, aquela que ―unifica em si as outras duas‖, isto é, as fórmulas da lei universal e da humanidade. Repensar, a partir de Kant, uma ética do dever, diferentemente de uma ética da virtude, e o problema da liberdade humana exige o estudo desses dois textos, escolhidos como etapas obrigatórias para quaisquer tentativas de reelaboração dessas questões tradicionais em termos contemporâneos.
According to Kant, human freedom is the ground of moral law. In what sense, however, freedom of action agrees with obedience to law? To answer this question it is necessary to distinguish Kant's concepts of "transcendental freedom", "practical freedom" and "autonomy". In the Critique of Pure Reason, transcendental freedom depends on the solution of the third antinomy. The thesis on the freedom of the will and the antithesis on the necessity of nature can be considered as non-contradictory statements by means of the distinction between phenomenon and noumenon. Still according to the first Critique, practical freedom refers to what is commonly meant by free choice, and concerns to the moral responsibility of agents. Finally, as to the Kantian concept of autonomy, it is subject of the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals. It consists of the third among the three main formulas of the categorical imperative, and "unites in itself the other two", the formula of universal law and the formula of humanity. Any attempt to understand, in contemporary terms, the problem of human freedom as well as an ethics of duty require the analysis of these Kantian concepts.

Abstract:
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior
To Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), moral and religion are bound up in some way, becoming different just by the fact that while moral, the duties are enacted as fundamental principles of every thinking human being, and by the fact that this one must act as a member of an ends universal system; while religion, those duties are seen as commandments of a supreme holy will, so that, the moral laws are the only ones which are in accordance with the idea of a supreme perfection. In the preface to the first edition of the Religion within the Boundaries of mere Reason Kant opens it with a claim moral is self-sufficient. Nevertheless, if morality in no way needs religion whether objectively (as regards willing) or subjectively (as regards capability), but it is self-sufficient; it is asked: why does religion consider the moral law as a commandment of a supreme holy will? Or yet, why is there a correlation between moral and religion? In this sense, its objective is to show how moral can reach its plenitude only in the absolute autonomy within the practice reason, which becomes law to itself as an unconditional and pure duty, and which can, then, indicate an inevitable relation existing between moral and religion. The connection between moral and religion, besides being fundamental and structural information of pure reason, it is the progressive recognition of a universal plan in which, despite all the liberty abuses by men, will reach in the end the highest possible degree of perfection of humankind.
Para Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), moral e religião estão ligadas de modo estreito, diferenciando-se apenas pelo fato de que na moral os deveres são praticados como princípios fundamentais de todo ser racional, e pelo fato de que esse último deve agir como membro de um sistema universal de fins, enquanto que na religião esses deveres são vistos como mandamentos de uma suprema vontade santa, pois que, as leis da moral são as únicas que estão de acordo com a idéia de uma suprema perfeição. No prólogo à primeira edição de A Religião nos Limites da simples razão (1793) Kant o abre com a afirmação de que a moral basta-se a si mesma. No entanto, se a moral de nenhum modo precisa da religião tanto objetivamente (com relação ao querer) quanto subjetivamente (com relação à capacidade) mas basta-se a si mesma; pergunta-se: porque a religião vê a lei moral como mandamento de uma suprema vontade santa? Ou ainda, porque existe uma relação entre moral e religião? Nesse sentido, o objetivo é o de mostrar como a moral atinge a sua plenitude somente na absoluta autonomia da razão prática, a qual se torna lei para si mesma como dever puro e incondicional, e que chegará então a indicar uma inevitável relação existente entre moral e religião. A conexão entre moral e religião, além de ser um dado fundamental e estrutural da razão pura, é o reconhecimento progressivo de um plano universal segundo o qual, a despeito de todos os abusos da liberdade por parte dos homens, alcançará no final o mais alto grau possível de perfeição do gênero humano.

A pesquisa Kant e a Religião da Razão procura estabelecer um debate específico em Ciência da Religião, notadamente sobre a Religião da Razão. Para esse propósito será estabelecido uma temática específica em que elementos religiosos podem ser sistematizados e redimensionados para uma conjuntura moral. O texto foi elaborado a partir de uma interpretação que irá ser de recondução a um desdobramento do conceito sobre religião. Desse modo, a experiência religiosa do homem se mostrará como conseqüência de uma dimensão moral construída socialmente. A importância dessa análise é a de percebermos a moral e sua manifestação na religião como desdobramento do Imperativo Categórico. Desse modo, temos aqui uma proposta de demonstração da religião dentro de uma percepção racional, voltada, sobre tudo, para o cumprimento moral, da ação pelo dever e pela virtude. Para o cumprimento dessa tarefa será feita uma análise do arcabouço moral em Kant (1992), (1996) e (2011), em que a tese do autor fundamenta o argumento religioso especificamente. É com esse conjunto de argumentos que entendemos que a confirmação de qualquer hipótese que tenha o filósofo Kant como mediador epistemológico, necessita de certo redimensionamento do autor a práticas modernas. O desafio, por assim dizer, é podermos admitir a ação moral como única possibilidade do dever. Dessa forma, a pesquisa se estrutura em três capítulos: o primeiro capítulo apresenta a religião da razão, dividida, supostamente, em categorias: a Moral, a Razão, o Imperativo Categórico, descrição acerca da Justiça e o Bem e o Mal. No capítulo seguinte é apresentado o processo de recondução da religião ao fundamento da moral. Para o terceiro capítulo mostra a importância da crítica Kantiana sobre a religião para o debate do contexto das Ciências da Religião

This study attempts to elucidate, in a first moment, the origin and the development of the moral problem in Kantian philosophy, from the Critique of Pure Reason to the Metaphysics of Morals, and the solution that Kant gave to it. Aiming to establish the Kantian rational groundwork of moral and right, this research turns, then, to the development of the main question that permeates throughout Kantian philosophy: How are a priori synthetic judgments possible? determining the conditions of possibility of such judgments in each one of the fields, the theoretical and the practical. Our goal is to elucidate that, although the right must not be confused with moral, demanding only legal conformity, that is, non-subjective adhesion of the actions to the law, it is subordinated to the moral in the measure that this right is based on a formal universalism of the supreme criterion of the morality, that is, the categorical imperative
O presente trabalho procura mostrar, num primeiro momento, a origem e o desenvolvimento do problema moral na filosofia kantiana, desde a Crítica da Razão Pura até a Metafísica dos Costumes, e que solução o autor lhe deu. Com o objetivo de estabelecer uma fundamentação racional da moral e do direito em Kant, a pesquisa passa, então, a ser desenvolvida a partir da pergunta principal que permeia toda filosofia kantiana: como são possíveis os juízos sintéticos a priori? , determinando as condições de possibilidade desses juízos em cada um dos campos, tanto teórico quanto prático. Nosso objetivo é mostrar que, muito embora o direito não se confunda com a moral, exigindo apenas a conformidade legal, quer dizer, adesão não subjetiva das ações à lei, ele está subordinado à moral na medida em que este direito funda-se num universalismo formal do critério supremo da moralidade, qual seja, o imperativo categórico

The aim of this dissertation is to present Schopenhauer's Metaphysics with a view to analysing the categorical imperative, a key concept of kantian morality. Our analysis shall indicate that the reason is merely an instrument of the will, which demands a refusal of the categorical imperative and the recognition of compassion as the cornerstone of morals.
O objetivo desta dissertação é apresentar a Metafísica da Vontade de Schopenhauer, com o intuito de analisar o imperativo categórico, conceito chave da Moral de Kant. Para tanto, demonstramos a tese de que a razão não passa de um instrumento da vontade. O que implica na refutação do imperativo categórico e, no estabelecimento da compaixão como fundamento da moral.

Abstract:
This chapter articulates Simone de Beauvoir’s argument for a categorical imperative of authenticity, presented across her short book Pyrrhus and Cineas and so far overlooked in existential and moral philosophy. The argument aims to derive this imperative from the very structure of human being itself. It begins from a premise that, according to existentialism, everyone must accept. This is the premise that some ends are valuable. It aims to derive from this, by a sequence of logical entailments, the conclusion that the structure of human agency is objectively valuable. If we must accept the opening premise and if the logical reasoning is sound, then it is imperative that we accept the conclusion. If successful, this argument establishes a categorical imperative that both grounds moral constraints on behaviour and establishes that our enterprises within those constraints are not absurd.
