Abstract
- The article discusses the implications of Immanuel Kant's moral humility for the perception of Aristotle and Saint Paul the Apostle that opposes traditional religious conceptions of humility. The Kantian moral humility has opposed Saint Paul who exhorts readers to humility over pride and Aristotle's perception that happy life is a life of human excellence which excellence based from humility and empty vanity. It was emphasized that Kant has acclaimed that virtue is attaching power, strength and authority emphasizing love of honor as the constant companion of virtue. It was affirmed that Kantian reflection on moral exemplars is necessary in the moral education of children and people.
