Abstract

Start of Kant’s thinking in critical philosophy is his theory on the antinomies. Kant found the origin of antinomies in transition from understanding to reason. In fact, theory of antinomy is considered as the basic pivot of his thoughts. Studying Kant’s opinions in the domain of social life, one can clearly find that his philosophical opinions appeared in his valuable works Critique of Pure Reason and Critique of Practical Reason, are in close connection with his social opinions. To explain his educative and political views, Kant planned to offer an account of the historical life of human race. Thus, he regards peace as an important global issue and introduces concepts such as pacifism, self-awaking, theoretical reason, ratiocination, reflection, civic society among the basic goals of the Enlightenment.
