Is it possible to formulate a principle for the development of humanity? What epistemic status would such a principle have? Can there be a critical philosophy of history? This study situates Kant's reflections on history by looking at the four systematic questions "What can I know?," "What should I do?," "What am I allowed to hope for?," and "What is the human being?"
