Summary
The manifold relations between Kant and Spinoza is rather an interesting subject. Historically speaking, Kant’s attitude towards co-called “Spinozism” was clearly negative, but his attitude towards Spinoza himself was positive. Interesting and illuminating as they are, discussions of Kant’s criticism of Spinozism and Spinoza’s view on purposiveness, which would amount to an exercise in speculative philosophy, are not directly relevant for the purpose of the present article This is because the scope of my interest lies only in the philosophical commitments of Kant and Spinoza with respect to the field of ethics. In the later Critique of Practical Reason Kant is more nuanced There he ascribes heteronomy to the arbitrary will (Willkür) and autonomy to will For the notion of autonomy in Kant is far removed from the idea of unconstrained, voluntary action Quite the contrary, it is precisely heteronomy which marks human arbitrary decisions and actions. В таком случае это не законы природы управляют действиями людей извне, но моральные законы практического разума служат уникальными имманнентными средствами сохранения аутентичной моральной самости человека
