Abstract: There are three kinds of dimensionalities penetrating Kantian doctrine of the radical evil in Religion Within the Limits of Reason Alone,namely,the transcendent,libertarian and progressive dimensionality。But they are inconsistent rather than consistent。This paper try to point out,by analysis of the contradiction and of the success-failure concerning Kantian solution to the contradiction,that the contradiction is inherent in Kantian philosophy,farther,to show that the comprehension about “the good”and “the evil”should be contacted with the existent surrounding and the value-pursuit of human being。

Key words: the radical evil, the transcendent dimensionality, the libertarian dimensionality, the progressive dimensionality

摘要： 康德在《单纯理性限度内的宗教》一书中对根本恶的论述贯穿了三种维度,即先验维度、自由维度和进步维度。但这三种维度之间并不是自恰的,而是存在着矛盾。通过对这些矛盾及康德对矛盾的解决的成败的分析可以看出,这些矛盾是内在于康德的哲学的。对(善)恶的理解只有与人的生存处境和价值追求相联系才有可能。
