Abstract

According to Kant, civil state must be ruled only by juridical legislation. Coercion (necessarily joint to legal system) cannot be related to ethical questions. Nevertheless, the present article tries to demonstrate that, according to Kant, politics in general (including any legal ordinary development) would be impossible if it was not supposed any civic virtue.
