Immanuel Kant, one of the greatest philosophers of all time who left his contribution in all corners of philosophy, began building his philosophical system in the wake of the Enlightenment currents in Europe. In the same period, the people of France began to rebel against the absolutist rule of their king, which escalated with the fall of the Bastille on July 14, 1789. In his writings, Kant strictly advocated the position that there is no legality in the rebellion of the citizens against the government, that is, in raising a civil revolution. Nevertheless, in Kant's writings, sometimes more and sometimes less subtly, it is clear that Kant glorified the French Revolution - especially the events that marked its beginning. The aim of this paper is to investigate Kant's reasons for his strict opposition to civil rebellion on the one hand and his advocacy of the rebellion of the French citizens at the end of the 18th century on the other. Considering the subtlety and hermeticity of Kant's texts, it is necessary to see whether Kant's approval of the French Revolution is conditional on interpretation or whether it is still possible to find more precise and explicit attitudes. In addition, this paper will also investigate what role the Enlightenment period plays, both for Kant's philosophy and for the French Revolution.
