Abstract

It is known that was Hume who, through his epistemological investigation, awakened Kant from the “dogmatic slumber” and that led him to do the research culminated in the Critique of Pure Reason. Kant himself mentions it repeatedly. Hume’s socalled “naturalistic scepticism”, otherwise, affected not merely the epistemological sphere, but also two other sets of philosophical problems, those of moral and religion. The aim of this paper is to analyze the incidence and influence of Hume in Kant’s moral philosophy, as it is offered to us in the Critique of Practical Reason, i.e., in the work in which Kant organizes his own critical moral theory in a definite way, after the first presentation in the Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals.
