Synopsis

The theoretical knowledge of right and law in principle, as distinguished from positive laws and empirical cases, belongs to the pure science of right The science of right thus designates the philosophical and systematic knowledge of the principles of natural right. And it is from this science that the immutable principles of all positive legislation must be derived by practical jurists and lawgivers.

About this title

About the Author

Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) was a German philosopher whose work transformed modern philosophy. A central figure of the Enlightenment, Kant developed a systematic approach to ethics, metaphysics, and epistemology that continues to shape philosophical thought. His major works-including Critique of Pure Reason, Critique of Practical Reason, and The Metaphysics of Morals-introduced concepts such as the categorical imperative and the primacy of rational moral law. Kant's writings on ethics, politics, and law remain foundational to modern discussions of freedom, rights, and moral responsibility.
