RESUMO
The aim of this work is to determine the function of moral anthropology in Kant s practical philosophy. In the Metaphysics of Morals, this anthropology is called the counterpart (Gegenstück) of pure morality, that is, the other member (Glied) of practical philosophy. Such concept drove the present investigation in its attempt to understand the way Kant conceives the link between morality and anthropology, once the philosopher also seems to mark a strict distinction between morality and anthropology. Considering this, this work defends the thesis that Kant s moral anthropology is a pragmatic science, whose function consists on applying morality to man. In other words, my purpose is to show that moral anthropology, taken as the counterpart of morality, performs the role of forming the moral character of man. In order to prove this, the first two chapters present a description of the metaphysics of morals (pure practical philosophy), exposing the problems and solutions proposed by Kant, and the evidence that supports the necessity for moral anthropology. The third chapter explores the definition of a Kantian anthropology. The fourth chapter lists and discusses a few elements which are part of the moral nature of man. The last chapter presents a few devices that are responsible for the moral formation of man.
