Common possession of the earth and the right to be somewhere
Jakob Huber’s Kant’s Grounded Cosmopolitanism focuses on an underanalyzed aspect of Kant’s theory, namely, Kant’s distinctive account of common possession of the earth, and combines Kant scholarship and contemporary global justice debates to show the ongoing relevance and potential of what Huber calls Kant’s ‘grounded cosmopolitanism.’ Huber argues that the right to be somewhere is a ‘material right to something located in time and space’ (27). T…
Happiness in Kant's Practical Philosophy
Happiness in Kant’s Practical Philosophy: Morality, Indirect Duties, and Welfare Rights examines the role and normative implications of Kant's understanding of happiness for his moral, political, and legal philosophy. Kant’s underlying assumptions about happiness are rarely overtly discussed or given much detail in his works. By bringing these assumptions to the fore, Alice Pinheiro Walla sheds light on some puzzling claims and on the scattered, …
A Kantian foundation for welfare rights
In this article, I offer a foundation for the prima facie idea of a right to welfare based on a neglected aspect of Kant’s legal theory: his account of equity rights (aequitas, Billigkeit). I argue that these rights are not the same as the ‘moral rights’ of current literature, and that they arise as a consequence of systemic injustice. The contribution of this article is twofold: firstly, it provides an analysis and application of Kant’s underana…
Global government or global governance? Realism and idealism in Kant's legal theory
Did Kant believe we need a world government? It has been a matter of controversy in Kant scholarship whether Kant endorsed the creation of a world state or merely a voluntary federation of states with no coercive power. I argue that Kant's main concern was with a global juridical condition, which he regarded as a rational requirement given the equal freedom and equality of individuals. However, he recognized that implementing this rational ideal …
Kant's Politics in Context
Reidar Maliks’ Kant's Politics in Context is a much needed addition to the literature on Kant's legal and political philosophy. Its central aim is to show how Kant's mature legal and political philosophy was shaped by the political debates during the French revolution, and continued to evolve as a response to his critics in the postrevolutionary period. In so doing, Maliks throws considerable light onto the development of Kant's legal and politic…
Common Possession of the Earth and Cosmopolitan Right
was a prominent idea in seventeenth-century modern philosophy. In this paper I will argue that Kant not only provides a secularized version of common possession of the earth but also radically departs from the conception of his natural law theory predecessors. I argue that Kant’s account of cosmopolitan right seeks to address the same problem as Grotius’ right of necessity, namely the implausibility of assuming inflexible acquired rights when thi…
