Each culture has various traditional ceremonies. Traditional ceremonies become one of the entities that perpetuate a culture. Each traditional ceremony has values that want to be preserved and taught to the followers of that culture. The Penti Ceremony in the Manggarai Community, Flores, NTT is one of the pedagogical cultural activities. There are many values to be taught in the ceremony. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the important values contained in the Penti ceremony from the perspective of Immanuel Kant's moral philosophy. This research uses a qualitative approach with ethnographic methods. The results of this study show that the Penti ceremony contains philosophical values that can be interpreted from the perspective of Kant's moral philosophy, such as harmony with God and others. These positive things are important to be raised in order to become material that can be taught to the younger generation through formal and informal schools, such as local content programs.
