O homem como fim terminal no projeto de paz perpétua kantiano

The purpose of this article is to reflect on the theme of man as a terminal end in the kantian peace project, considering the need to understand the role of the individual, as a moral subject, in the steps to perpetual peace. In order to do that, takes place an analysis divided into two parts, at which it will evaluate, at first moment, the concept of the terminal end in kantian philosophy and its correlations in the areas of human progress and its consequent dignity; in a second moment, the role of man as an active moral subject in the formation of a civil community capable of administering law and its derivatives in kantian public law thinking. Finally, the role of man, as the terminal end of creation, in overcoming his mechanistic condition of existence for his consequent performance as a moral subject in the creation of a civil society that moves towards effective perpetual peace, will be exposed.
