The aim of this analysis is to show the categorical imperative as the cornerstone of human dignity and form of revelation of God in the work of Immanuel Kant and Karol Wojtyla. The suspicious and distant attitude of Christian philosophers, as well as the Catholic Church compared to Kant has a long history. To this day there are only a few researches that analyse from this point of view (Kantian influences) the philosophical thinking of Karol Wojtyla. Though Kant identified the question of God as the cardinal question of our abstract rationality, he believed in God and future life, even in his lifetime he was underestimated, misunderstood and treated with hostility. The experience of duty is”ratio conoscendi” of freedom in Kant and Wojtyla. For the two thinkers the question of freedom is the basic category of there philosophies. Through which authority moral law challenges the human being? Kant and Wojtyla, both philosophers comprehend the highest authority as divine power which formulated the moral law before man. The “holy lawmaker” – God – reveals himself in the human act.

Kant zaproponował aprioryczne ujęcie idei prawa, zgodnie z którym jedynym prawomocnym celem prawa jest zapewnienie każdemu obywatelowi możliwie szerokiego zakresu zewnętrznej wolności dającego się pogodzić z identycznym zakresem wolności innych obywateli. Kant nie rozjaśnił jednak w pełni tego, jak należy to ujęcie uzasadnić. W artykule zostały przedstawione dwa sposoby jego uzasadnienia oparte na Kantowskim obrazie natury ludzkiej. Pierwsze z nich odwołuje się do apriorycznych elementów tego obrazu (racjonalności, wolności, równości i godności), drugi – do elementów empirycznych (ambiwalentnego ujęcia przez Kanta ludzkich predyspozycji).

Kant proposed an apriorical account of the idea of law, according to which the law’s only legitimate goal is to guarantee for each citizen a possibly broad scope of external freedom compatible with the same scope of all other citizens. However, Kant did not make it entirely clear how this idea is to be justified. This paper presents two ways of justification, drawing on Kant’s view of the human nature. The first one appeals to the apriorical components of this view (rationality, freedom, equality, and dignity), and the second one is based on its empirical components (the ambivalent account of human predispositions).
