Kant en la filosofía política contemporánea

Abstract

This article has the aim to expose and analyze the form in which the ethical and political thought of Kant has been interpreted in the debate between the liberal and the communitarian thought. The author stresses the fact that between the normative level, in which he states Rawls proposal, and the descriptive level of Sandels proposal, the kantian thought can serve as a mediating strategy with the objective to construct, departing from a third level, which Kant called pragmatic, a social theory that embraces the complexity of contemporary societies.
