The comparison of Immanuel Kant's and St. Agustinus' philosophy of ethics

This thesis is to compare the moral understanding of Augustine, one of the leading representatives of patristic philosophy, which is based on the divine will and trying to gain God's consent, and the understanding of ethics, which is based on the human mind and which is based on the intention according to Kant, one of the philosophers of the Enlightenment period, which comes to mind first when it comes to ethics. On the onehand, it will be seen that the interest-based understanding of teleological ethics, which evaluates the actions of people through the irresults, even if this interest is to gain the consent of God, on the otherhand, deontological ethics carries out the moral action only with the awareness that it should be done regardless of its consequences. As a result, in this thesis, it will be possible to see the comparison between man, who is dependent on divine destinyand is the passive object of his actions, and man, who is the subject of his destiny as the agent of his own actions, on the other.
