论康德的根本恶及其改恶向善

On Kant’s Fundamental Evil and Its Transformation from Evil to Good

摘要: 关于人性善恶的问题，康德从自由出发，揭示了人的本性中所蕴含的三种向善的原初禀赋与三种趋恶的倾向，在此基础上康德提出善与恶的对立在于意念与道德法则之间的关系，而由于对道德法则的违背以及道德次序的颠倒在每一个人身上，即便是在最善的人身上都是存在的，所以康德认为在人性中存在着根本恶。但康德指出，通过道德自律，个体是能够改恶向善的。

Abstract: On the question of good and evil in human nature, Kant, starting from freedom, revealed the three original Endowments for good and the three tendencies for evil contained in human nature. On this basis, Kant proposed that the opposition between good and evil lies in the relationship between ideas and moral laws, and because of the violation of moral laws and the reversal of moral order, it exists in every person, even in the best person. So Kant believes that there is fundamental evil in human nature. But Kant pointed out that through moral self-discipline, individuals can turn evil into good.
