Abstract
The article explores the metaphysics of consciousness by I. Kant, in which the eternal philosophical problems concerning the possibilities of the human mind, the content of moral postulates, and the probability of comprehending God are studied. The moral philosophy of I. Kant is considered in the context of transcendental problems, which was the subject of reflections of many famous thinkers, in particular F. Nietzsche. It is proved that in the ethical teachings of I. Kant and F. Nietzsche, for all their differences, there is a desire to resist the claims of a complacent mind to possess the absolute truth about the laws of the phenomenal and noumenal worlds, as well as a sincere desire to improve human nature.
