Abstract

In this paper we will deal with some aspects of Kant's thought on democracy. First, we will present his conception of history ruled by the idea of ​​progress seated in nature that guides political practical reason, to show enlightenment expectations for realization of freedom; then, we will focus on its position on the republic form of government (forma regiminis) as appropriate for a free one, and its rejection of democracy as a misunderstanding generated by the pretensions of equality materially conditioned.
