Abstract

This article analyzes the approach of two philosophers of the
Enlightenment: Immanuel Kant (1724/1804) and Marie Jean
Antoine Nicolas de Caritat (1743/1794). The main question of
this paper is: If one is not born a person, but becomes a person,
what is the place of history in human education before the
autonomy of school discipline? We examine the texts produced
the two thinkers between 1791 and 1803, which announce the
visions on man, life, philosophy of history, empirical history, and
human education with the purpose of discussing the presence of
history as teachable knowledge in the eighteenth century. The
text also aims to contribute to the knowledge of the uses of
history in human formation in a long term perspective.
