Abstract

In the article I try to explain the manner of comprehending by a thinker from Królewiec of a sence of human history involved in mechanism of nature and universe. Immanuel Kant in his considerations about nature uses two fundamental meanings. The first refers to repeating sequence of foreseeable empirical occurrences. According to the second is this a hidden power of freedom, ideal determinant of natural aims, a powerful mind of Providence. Rules of nature are mechanical rights - investigated by theoretical mind. Rules of freedom are moral rules - reached by practical mind. General law of nature we take out from own intellect. This permits us to take control over material reality. What are however the optimal - aims of nature? Which is the best destination of mankind? Kant seeks the answers for these questions in norms of activity postulated by practical mind. He thinks, that a man can realize tasks resulting from his relationship with nature and gifts from nature for self-realization beyond empirical reality.
