Resumen
This master's degree work approaches the concept the highest good in three different
moments of the Kant s philosophy practical. Its objective is to show that Kant attributes
different papers in the ethics, in the religion and in the political philosophy for the highest
good, that is, it can have different functions in the horizon of his philosophy. In the first
chapter, the highest good is characterized in the Dialectics of the Critique of Practical Reason
as object of the pure practical reason and it is sustained that is necessary to admit for his
accomplishment that the postulates of the practical reason, God and immortality of the soul,
as their possibility conditions. In the second chapter, from the Religion Within the Limits of
Reason Alone, it is described the idea of the highest good as last end of the man's moral
conduct through the moral community's formation and it is shown how the radical evil show
itself in the human nature. In the last chapter, it is presented the conception secular or political
of the highest good as a social end. This subject is analyzed in the context of the political
philosophy of Kant and it is sustained that the accomplishment of the highest good political
requests the union of States in a common juridical body and, besides, it is necessary the
elaboration of a cosmopolitan Constitution.
