Developing Politically Stable Societies: Kant and Rawls on Moral Maturation
While various Kantian influences on Rawls have been discussed in the literature, these discussions have been limited to Part I of A Theory of Justice and thus to topics concerning a priori ethical considerations and their consequences for political philosophy. In contrast to others who have interpreted Rawls’s Kantianism in this way, I show that what is also at the core of Rawls’s Kantian project in Theory is Kant’s theory of moral development. T…
Kant on Moral Education and the Origins of Humanity
Kant's views on human history have been widely studied, but commentators have rarely discussed his speculative account of humanity's origins, assuming that it does not neatly fit into his critical philosophy. My paper challenges this assumption by defending two claims. First, Kant's major essay on this topic, "Conjectural Beginning of Human History," is a key component of his teleological understanding of human history and should be incorporated …
From Rationality to Morality: The Collective Development of Practical Reason in Kant’s Moral Anthropology
While Kant’s account of humankind’s rational progress has been widely discussed, his speculative views about the way in which this progress might have begun and the circumstances surrounding this beginning have been largely neglected. Implicit in such an omission is the assumption that Kant does not say much about the very beginning of human history or that whatever he says is of little philosophical value. This article challenges these assumptio…
Universal Basic Income and Divergent Theories of Gender Justice
This article assesses the potential for basic income to become a tool for empowering women in the household and in the workplace. Recent debates among feminist political theorists indicate that it is not obvious whether basic income has the potential to push our society toward greater socioeconomic gender justice. I show that arguments for and against basic income put forward by feminist theorists rely on implicit assumptions about how women's wo…
Electoral Competence, Epistocracy, and Standpoint Epistemologies. A Reply to Brennan
Jason Brennan’s recent epistemic argument for epistocracy relies on the assumption that voter competence requires knowledge of economics and political science. He conjectures that people who would qualify as competent are mostly white, upper-middle- to upper-class, educated, employed men, who know better how to promote the interests of the disadvantaged than the disadvantaged themselves. My paper, first, shows that this account of voter competenc…
