The Development of Kant s Transcendental Methodology for the Concept of Human Rights
The human right is a central concept in Kant's legal and political philosophy.The existing researches of Kant's concept of human rights have mainly taken the interpretation path of a doctrine of elements,lacking in particular a focus on transcendental methodology,which stems from the theoreti-cal orientation of the perpetual peace as the general problem of Kant's legal and political philosophy.In the sense of transcendental methodology,the concept of human rights presents both an ideal and a historical dimension based on the principle of publicity.As an idea,the legislation of the subjects em-bedded in the concept of human rights is a recursion of debate and consensus.The concept of human rights,embedded in history,has gradually expanded its connotation in the history of the enlighten-ment and unified freedom as a basis for absolute prescriptions with tolerance,which recognizes the ex-istence of difference.Kant's attempt to offer the possibility of free practice of free citizenship in the world of human beings in the dimension of the historical practice of the concept of human rights,de-spite its insurmountable limitations,at least gives a rational explanation for the persistence of modern human civilization and leaves room for filling in the content elements of the concept of human rights,and this historical logic was also followed and advanced by many subsequent thinkers.
