Kant on moral character, immortality, and holiness as the limit of virtue
This paper has four main sections. In section one, I argue that Kant faces a trilemma being committed to the following three seemingly incompatible claims: (a) that we ought to be morally perfect (‘holy’), (b) that ought implies can, and (c) that we cannot be morally perfect. In section two, I explain how Kant’s account of the relationship between virtue and holiness is designed to address this trilemma. For Kant, someone with a virtuous disposit…

Kant on the Ontological Argument for the Existence of God
In the ontological argument for the existence of God, Descartes famously argues that the idea of God is the idea of a perfect being. As such, the idea of God must combine all of the perfections. Now, as (necessary) existence is a perfection, God must exist. Leibniz criticized Descartes' argument, pointing out that it rests upon the hidden assumption that God is possible. Leibniz argues, however, that God is really possible because realities canno…
Atomic Event Concepts in Perception, Action, and Belief
Event concepts are unstructured atomic concepts that apply to event types. A paradigm example of such an event type would be that of diaper changing, and so a putative example of an atomic event concept would be DADDY'S-CHANGING-MY-DIAPER. 1 I will defend two claims about such concepts. First, the conceptual claim that it is in principle possible to possess a concept such as DADDY'S-CHANGING-MY-DIAPER without possessing the concept DIAPER. Second…
Common Sense and Comparative Linguistics
Je traite du rôle de la traductibilité dans la justification philosophique. Je présente et défends d’abord la conception que Thomas Reid se fait du rôle que peuvent jouer les faits relatifs à la linguistique comparative dans la justification philosophique. Il estime que le sens commun offre une forme de justification fiable, quoique révocable. Pourtant, nous ne pouvons pas savoir, de manière introspective, lesquels de nos jugements relèvent du se…
Kant and the Concept of Community
The concept of community plays a central role in Kant's theoretical philosophy, his practical philosophy, his aesthetics, and his religious thought. Kant uses community in many philosophical contexts: the category of community introduced in his table of categories in the Critique of Pure Reason; the community of substances in the third analogy; the realm of ends as an ethical community; the state and the public sphere as political communities; th…
