Abstract
Freedom has a special place in Kant's philosophy; whereby many concepts in the field of practical reason should be read in relation to the meaning of freedom. One of these basic concepts is the notion of right, to which Kant's Copernican revolution has given special prominence through a subjective approach. According to Kant, the essence of reason is freedom and the law of practical reason makes sense in relation to the original meaning of the right can be understood only in the light of Kant's freedom. Kant considers the relationship between right and freedom to be profound, in that, the individual’s right is a set of conditions under which his freedom is harmonized according to the general law of freedom; and on the other hand, freedom is the only inherent human right and in a negative sense means being free from any kind of dependence. In a positive sense, this means the power of the legislature relies on its essence, and in relation to the right, the main condition for the validity of the right is the preservation of freedom. Just as freedom is an a priori concept, so are legal principles, and they have no purpose other than to unite the free will of human beings.
