KANT'IN 'AYDINLANMA NEDİR? SORUSUNA YANIT' BAŞLIKLI MAKALESİNDEN HAREKETLE HUKUKA İLİŞKİN BİRKAÇ SONUÇ

Year 2015, Issue: 19, 249 - 258, 01.05.2015

Abstract

Kant’ın ‘Aydınlanma Nedir? Sorununa Yanıt” başlıklı makalesine bakıldığında, makalenin bir hukuk sisteminin varlığı için onsuz olamayacağı koşullar neler olmalıdır sorusuna verilecek kimi çözüm önerileri için ipuçu niteliğinde düşünceler barındırdığı söylenebilir. Buradan çıkarılacak sonuçlar kanımca üç başlık altında ele alınabilir: ilk olarak, hukukun temelini oluşturan temel yasa ne olmalıdır? Kant aklın özgür bir şekilde kamuda kullanılmasını, bugünkü dile getirilişiyle ifade özgürlüğünü, aydınlanmanın en temeldeki koşulu olarak düşünür. Bu bakış açısından bakıldığında, Kant’ın bu ölçüsünün bütün hukuk sistemlerinin dayanması gereken temel normun içeriğini oluşturması gerektiği ileri sürülebilir. Ikinci olarak, hukuk yasalarını nasıl değiştirebiliriz? Işte tam bu noktada, Kant’ın makalesinde norm koyucunun normu değiştirmesi ve bu değişikliğin ne yönde yapılması gerektiği konusunda nereye bakılacağı açıklığa kavuşmuş oluyor. Bu da, normlara itaati bir yaşam tarzı haline getirmiş kişinin ifade özgürlüğü çerçevesinde ortaya koyduğu düşüncelerinden başka bir şey değildir. Son olarak, Kant’ın makalesi aracılığıyla hukuka itaat etmenin gerekliliğini de öğreniyoruz

SOME CONSEQUENCES CONCERNING LAW WITH REFERENCE TO KANT’S ARTICLE ENTITLED “AN ANSWER TO THE QUESTION ‘WHAT IS ENLIGHTENMENT?’”

Abstract

When Kant’s article entitled “An Answer to the Question ‘What is Enlightenment?’” is considered, it can be said that the article incorporates some thoughts as a clue for some solution offers to the question what are the conditions that a law system may not exist without. I believe that what can be concluded from this may be addressed in three headings: Firstly, what should the basic rule in law be? Kant considered free use of reason in public, when expressed in today’s language freedom of expression, as the most fundamental condition required for enlightenment. When considered from this point of view, it can be alleged that this standard of Kant should establish the content of the basic norm which all law systems should be based on. Secondly, how can we change laws? Changing of the norm by the norm maker and where to focus upon for in which direction this change should be done becomes clarified in Kant’s article. This is nothing more than the thoughts of a person who adopted it a life style to obey these norms, revealed within the frame of freedom of expression. Finally, from Kant’s article we can learn that law should be deterrence
