Abstract
According to Immanuel Kant, legality means the quality of an action to be merely and simply in conformity with a law. The article defends the significance of this notion and explains how it in-dicates the existence of a legal relation. The legal relation, in turn, is the result of resolving an antinomy between the social and the substantive dimension of moral judgment.
