This master's degree work approaches the concept the highest good in three different moments of the Kant s philosophy practical. Its objective is to show that Kant attributes different papers in the ethics, in the religion and in the political philosophy for the highest good, that is, it can have different functions in the horizon of his philosophy. In the first chapter, the highest good is characterized in the Dialectics of the Critique of Practical Reason as object of the pure practical reason and it is sustained that is necessary to admit for his accomplishment that the postulates of the practical reason, God and immortality of the soul, as their possibility conditions. In the second chapter, from the Religion Within the Limits of Reason Alone, it is described the idea of the highest good as last end of the man's moral conduct through the moral community's formation and it is shown how the radical evil show itself in the human nature. In the last chapter, it is presented the conception secular or political of the highest good as a social end. This subject is analyzed in the context of the political philosophy of Kant and it is sustained that the accomplishment of the highest good political requests the union of States in a common juridical body and, besides, it is necessary the elaboration of a cosmopolitan Constitution.
