The central world outlook problem of death and immortality of the human in the context of Immanuel Kant’s philosophical doctrine
he problem of death and immortality of the human is central to any world view. It is particularly important in the philosophical aspect. Immanuel Kant proposed a solution to this problem from the standpoint of agnosticism in the specific form of the the doctrine “Das Ding in sich” (“thing in itself”). These features of his philosophy are breafly considered in the beginning of the report. About things in themselves we can only know that they exist and “afficere” sense organs. Author of the report also concerns such aspects of the Kant’s philosophy as “apriorism”, the doctrine of the antinomies of Mind, the transcendental and transcendent cognition, the categorical imperative, the recognition of the body and soul dualism, the understanding of philosophy as a healthy of soul etc., developed and manifested in subcriti- cal and critical periods of the philosopher’s creative evolution. The author of the report also considered the Kant’s argument directed against theological proofs of immortality. According to this argument anybody from people can not know what is death, because it requires a life, a real experience. The author of the report pointed out that Kant perceives and evaluates the death as a soft sense of liberation from suffering. The scientist has compared Kant's views with similar ones of Lametry and Tsiolkovsky aimed to free people from fear of death and alleviate for the loss of life. Particular attention is paid to the fact that Kant, in a result, recognizes the eternal human life after death, but only from the moral point of view and aspiration to the highest blessing. Kant replaces the theological postulates by evidence of the immortality of the soul, the free will and the being of God.
