Kant's Moral Education and its Legacy for the 21st Century

The aim of the paper is to interpret Immanuel Kant's primary texts (Zwei Aufsatze, betreffend das Basedow'sche Philanthropinum, uber Padagogik Padagogik, and Anthropologie in pragmatischer Hinsicht) using analytical method with a narrower focus on moral thinking presented through the concepts of Bildung, Denkungsart, and Naturell. The impetus for this analysis was the contemporary development of multicultural education as well as various initiatives for the development of ethical or moral dilemmas. The paper intends to contribute to the discussion with Kant's perspective of cosmopolitanism, which remains relevant in the face of newly emerging forms of reality and the global world situation. At the same time, it also focuses on the philosophical link between moral thinking and moral education, i.e., the applied moral patterns of behaviour of each individual, which he or she internalizes.
