Resumo Inglês:
This paper’s proposal is to show the fundamental presence of the right of humanity as limitative condition of freedom in Kant’s Doctrine of Virtue as well as in his Doctrine of Right. Ethics and right originate indeed from the acknowledgment and from the defence of the inalienable dignity that everyone has in virtue of his being a rational free agent. Humanity is then a value which transcends the distinction between ethics and right and founds them. Not only Kantian ethics but also Kantian right possess a content of values.
