«Sinché la perfetta arte non diventi di nuovo natura». Progresso e regresso morale in Kant

Kant struggles with the problem of moral regress throughout all his philosophy of history. The solution he finally argues for in The Contest of Faculties (1798) is the result of a complex elaboration in which the practical-empirical issue of regress is explained in the light of the theoretical justification of progress developed in the Critique of the Power of Judgment (1790). The article argues that this solution is consistent.
