In their writings on world history, Kant and Hegel share an ultimately consoling assessment of humanity’s prospects for moral progress. Nonetheless, the two philosophers derive different kinds of consolation from their world historical reflections. They do so, I argue, because of their respective metaphysical commitments. In this paper, I suggest that the kind of consolation each derives from world history may be understood to derive from their unique assumptions about the resources of human feeling as a source of the good.

摘要

In their writings on world history, Kant and Hegel share an ultimately consoling assessment of humanity’s prospects for moral progress. Nonetheless, the two philosophers derive different kinds of consolation from their world historical reflections. They do so, I argue, because of their respective metaphysical commitments. In this paper, I suggest that the kind of consolation each derives from world history may be understood to derive from their unique assumptions about the resources of human feeling as a source of the good.
