%0 Journal Article %T BORDERLINES OF LAW IN KANTIAN THOUGHT %A G£¿k£¿e £¿ATALOLUK %J - %D 2019 %X In Turkish legal literature, Immanuel Kant is reflected as if he inspects law through eye-glasses of ethics, the philosopher¡¯s ideas about normative systems are considered as a totality and analyzed under the shadow of categorical imperative, which is backed by a total ignorance of his Rechtslehre. It is then an expected outcome that Kant is considered as a natural lawyer. But Kant, sometimes referred to as the killer of natural law put so much effort to draw a border line between law and morality, understood law as a matter of reason and limited its exercise to the external actions of humans. In this article with the title, ¡°Borderlines of Law in Kantian Thought¡± an artificial contradiction between natural law and legal positivism is avoided and some issues that lie on the borders of Kantian legal thought are raised. As a result of a systemic approach, firstly a clear-cut line between law and morality is drawn, secondly the concepts of natural state, natural rights and natural law are clarified and finally the tension between Kant¡¯s hail to the French Revolution and his strict ideas against the concept of revolution is discussed %K Kant %K hukuk felsefesi %K sistem felsefesi %K do£¿al hukuk %K s£¿n£¿r sorunlar£¿ %U http://dergipark.org.tr/inuhfd/issue/42534/569913
