Abstract
Kant’s moral theory is often studied by focusing on the categorical imperative and its importance. An relevant concept of his morals which, however, is often neglected is the Highest Good. Such concept is important for the bringing about of Kantian morals and also because of its role on the passage from morals to religion. We begin with an exposition of the postulates of practical reason (existence of God, immortality of the soul and freedom) in its connection with the primacy of practical reason. Afterwards, we will discuss how Kant connects his notion of Highest Good with the Christian conception of Kingdom of God, and also with Leibniz’s Kingdom of Grace. To which extent does Kant approach Leibnizian and classical Christian theses? And where does he set apart from them?
