This article is an analysis of the discussion between Schiller and Kant about duty and inclination in Schiller’s «On Grace and Dignity», Kant’s «Religion Within the Limits of Reason Alone» and a letter of Schiller to Kant on this topic. The article shows that Schiller’s and Kant’s conceptions are essentially different. With Kant there could be no theoretical connection between duty and inclination for systematic reasons, whereas Schiller thought it was the case. But Kant and Schiller had great respect for each other; they did not consider their differences as important. Each tried to understand the other from the viewpoint of the latter’s theories, and insisted principally on the agreements between their respective theories. Análisis de la discusión entre Schiller y Kant sobre el deber y la inclinación en la obra de Schiller Sobre la gracia y la dignidad y en la de Kant sobre La religión dentro de los límites de la mera razón, así como en la carta correspondiente de Schiller a Kant. En el presente estudio se ponen de manifiesto las diferentes opiniones entre ambos autores. Por motivos sistemáticos, para Kant no puede haber una relación teórica entre deber e inclinación, mientras que para Schiller sí. Sin embargo, ambos se respetan mutuamente, no consideran importantes sus diferencias y cada uno intenta comprender al otro desde sus propias teorías e insisten principalmente en la coincidencia de las mismas.
