Respect for Reason as a Reason of Law and Morality in the World Some Anottation to Kant’s Conception of Worldcitizenship

Öz The background of the study is set on the analysis of Kant’s idea of worldcitizenship in empire of human rationality, which he sees as world of academic liberty, authority of reason and equality of actors. Author of this study tries to focus an attention on basic idea of Kantian morality – on Respect to moral law giver. He shows that in Kant’s conception is the law giver only the critical reason. This moment allows Kant to create authonomious morality in which is law giver, actor and judge the same. Reason in each from these persons is the same like in each rational being. So Kant discovered proof of equality as a condition of universal morality.
