The final aim of Kant' s philosophy was stipulated and summarized as anthropology by him. What his critique philosophy has solved was just the content of anthropological "knowledge ability", "desire ability",> "happy and unhappy emotion" etc. After having fully inspected reasonism and nominalism' s defects, Kant put forth that we should establish new philosophy with the critique human reason ability as basis: He carried out a Copernican revolution, which overturned past recongnition axle center, established an epistemology system which had "human beings" as the center and had nature to revolve round human beings or established object by mainbody , recognized knowledge truthfully by using congenital utter tenets which belonged to human reason itself and so changed his philosophy to anthropology. But human true meaning existed in its practical field. Kant pressed knowledge for freedom, pressed congentital freedom for practical freedom and mainly expounded that in practical reason, the concept of freedom was the arch stone of his complete philosophy. To solve the antrimony in moral field, he got the God which had been cleaned out from his philosophy back and finally demonstracted the implicit proposition of "if no morality, how God is possible" in his moral veligious opinon under the concept of freedom. At the same time, from the view of the inspection of his philosophicalsystem itself, Kant thought that appearance and essence , theory and practice, ect. Still separated from each other. This was not his real intention and the critique of judgement was coming nearer and nearer: Both congenital freedom and practical freedom belonged to reasonable freedom, this was only the ought and necessity of freedom' s existence. In judgement, however, the acquirement of internal psychologic fact of aesthetic main body' s freedom feelings was the assertoric of freedom' s existence; this was also the key to solve the problem of transitioning from natural human beings to free human beings and made a perfect period for the issue of "what are human beings ". By these, this essay tried to demonstrate that anthropological thoughts in Kant' s philosophy was finally summaied as one point: the concept of freedom.
