Abstract:

Education in the sense of Kant aims on the development of morality. But morality cannot directly be produced. However, (pre-)conditions for the moralisation that has to be done by the educated self can be improved. Thereby, education insofar can be understood as development aid of morality. Education fosters the development of morality, but anyway can not do the development on its own.

Kants educational theory combines its moral philosophical fundament with anthropological and historical side argumentations. In this context the pragmatic has the task to define the conditions in which moralisation can succeed at its best. The history-philosophical perspective of progress towards a ‘cosmopolitan condition’ is getting relevant for an education targeting on morality and thereby contributing to the ‘Perpetual Peace’.
