Historical setbacks and political catastrophes - how can the idea of progress still have a basis in the face of such experiences? This epistemological question is pressing today but was already posed in Kant's philosophy of history. Calvin Kiesel explores it under the premises of Kant's critical epistemology. The correlation of empirical contexts (anthropology, economics, politics) on the one hand and a normative and systematic perspective of reason on the other, as well as legal developments that mediate between the two, emerge as the basis of Kant's philosophical history of progress.
