Consideraciones acerca de la Concepción Kantiana de la Libertad en Sentido Político [Considerations about the Kantian conception of freedom in the political sense]

Abstract

"En este trabajo analizamos dos defi niciones kantianas de la libertad política que han sido consideradas como defi niciones antagónicas: una de ellas parece aproximar a Kant a la corriente del liberalismo moderno; la otra daría lugar, en cambio, a una interpretación republicana del pensamiento político kantiano. El análisis de ambas definiciones permitirá mostrar que éstas no resultan necesariamente incompatibles" ["In this paper we shall analyze two Kantian defi nitions of political freedom which have been considered mutually exclusive: one of them would allow us to consider Kant as an exponent of the liberal tradition; the other would lead to a republican interpretation of Kant's political thought. The analysis of both defi nitions will show that they are notnecessarily incompatible"]
