IDO MOVEMENT FOR CULTURE

This article presents Kant’s anthropological views which portray a human as a being both fenomenal and noumenal. Being fenomenal is defined as a human who appears and disappears in the physical world as a physical entity, is born into the sensual world (i.e. a world which is natural and discovered by senses) and dies, and lasts for a limited period of time. Being noumenal means belonging to the ideal world, being a part of abstract and supernatural things-in-themselves i.e. pure spirits having godly and absolute properties. A human uses senses for empirical cognition of the world; nature is a posteriori for him/her. This is the reason for why a human should have an agile body since it is indispensable for effective cognition activity and effective interpersonal activity.
This is transparent when intensive social relations and morality pertaining to the principle of Categorical Imperative (widely binding and necessary moral rule) are compared to the concept of the state of purposes. The views are also condoned by morality concerning soteriological ethics (referring to the theory of salvation), which derives itself from religious principles set on the grounds of philosophy of religion. These religious principles were especially exposed towards the closing phase of Kant’s output, i.e. in the mystical phase, being significantly revealed by emotional relations with Christianity. Categorical Imperative, as well as the truths, correct formal theories (mathematical, logical, methodological) stem from noumenal world, from pure spirits. Since the human mind appeals to the aforementioned supernatural world, the world that creates truths as judgements-a-priori – always prevalent, necessary and undeniable, and since this mind is able to verify and confirm those truths in social environment, a human is, therefore, partly existing in “starry heaven”. On the other hand, due to the body, a human is deeply enrooted in nature. This leads to the conclusion that a human is a being which is situated between the heaven and the earth.
According to Kant a human communicates with the external (moumenal) world in two manners: transcendental and transcendent. The first term refers to some ideal external existence (in relation to nature), pure spirits of godly kind, abstracts, but being non-religious. The second term, however, indicates the existence of godly beings having religious and religious-apparent properties. In this respect the author of the article differentiate between the two terms and bears witness to that fact during his lectures, tutorials with students and in publications.
