Annotation
Kant’s theory of radical evil is closely linked to the broader concept of practical rationality and man’s
responsibility for life as a whole. Reflection on this problem will consist, firstly, in elaborating the problem of
the autonomy of “evil” in Kant’s historical concept and its modern equivalents, and secondly, in analyzing the
changing concept of the “community of rational beings” in favor of its historicity.
