The article focuses on Immanuel Kant's concept of freedom and human sciences. It states that Kant's anthropology studies the human being as a freely acting being. It says that the said approach presupposes that such an inquiry can acknowledge freedom and appeal to it in its accounts of human behaviour. It adds that the anthropology seems to suggests that empirical factors encompassed by culture, civilisation and mores can have an impact on the human being's moral status by generating some for of moral progress.
