Abstract

Dans ce travail, nous avons etudie la notion de progres telle qu'elle se presente dans les multiples opuscules de Kant sur l'histoire. Avant de circonscrire cette notion, nous avons determine le statut de la reflexion philosophique sur l'histoire au sein de la philosophie transcendantale. Par la suite, nous avons explicite la notion de progres a travers l'Idee d'une histoire universelle au point de vue cosmopolitique de 1784, le texte de 1793, La religion dans les limites de la simple raison et enfin Le conflit des facultes de 1798. En plus de montrer que plusieurs points de vue demeurent possibles chez Kant pour considerer le cours de l'histoire de l'humanite, nous avons fait le point de facon critique sur les diverses interpretations presentees dans la litterature secondaire concernant la notion de progres et avons discute les problemes qu'elle souleve dans les opuscules sur l'histoire.

In this work, we have studied the notion of progress as it presents itself in Kant's multiple pamphlets on history. Before circumscribing this notion, we determined the status of philosophical reflection on history within transcendental philosophy. Subsequently, we explained the notion of progress through the Idea of a universal history from a cosmopolitical point of view of 1784, the text of 1793, Religion within the limits of simple reason and finally The conflict of the faculties of 1798. In addition to showing that several points of view remain possible in Kant to consider the course of the history of humanity, we have critically taken stock of the various interpretations presented in the secondary literature concerning the notion of progress. and we discussed the problems it raises in the pamphlets on history.
