The Error in the Groundwork
The paper examines Kant's self-criticism to the account of hypothetical imperatives given in the Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals. Following his corrections in the introductions to the third Critique, the paper traces the consequences of that change in his later writings, specifically with regard to the status of prudence. I argue that the revision of the account of hypothetical imperatives leads to differentiate, and ultimately separate,…
The fate of autonomy in Kant’s Metaphysics of Morals
The idea of autonomy, presented as Kant’s main achievement in the Groundwork and the second Critique, is hardly present in the ethics of the “Doctrine of Virtue”. Against Pauline Kleingeld’s recent interpretation, I argue that this does not amount to a disappearance of the Principle of Autonomy, but to an important development of the notion of autonomy. I first show that Kant still advocated the Principle of Autonomy in the 1790s along with the t…
The Emergence of Autonomy in Kant's Moral Philosophy
Autonomy is one of the central concepts of contemporary moral thought, and Kant is often credited with being the inventor of individual moral autonomy. But how and why did Kant develop this notion? The Emergence of Autonomy in Kant's Moral Philosophy is the first essay collection exclusively devoted to this topic. It traces the emergence of autonomy from Kant's earliest writings to the changes that he made to the concept in his mature works. The …
Kant’s Idea of Human Dignity
This paper focuses on the relationship between Kant and the traditional view of dignity. I argue that some amendments to Sensen’s description of the traditional paradigm enable us to see more clearly both where Kant adheres to the latter and where his view is original. First, a consideration of Pufendorf’s use of dignity suggests (1) that, contrary to Sensen’s reconstruction, the traditional paradigm does not entail a connection between dignity a…
Kant-Lexikon
Kant’s revolutionary new approach to philosophy was accompanied by the introduction of a largely novel terminology.This led to the publication of a number of commentaries, dictionaries and compendia even while he was still alive. With the Kant-Lexikon ,a lexical reference gives the modern reader access tohis work on the basis of present-day editions and takes into account 20th century and contemporary research and advances in lexicology
The Perfect Duty to Oneself Merely as a Moral Being (TL 6
The chapter examines Kant's treatment of lying, avarice, and servility or false humility in the "Doctrine of Virtue" (6:428–437). While those moral issues are traditionally construed as regarding moral demands towards others, Kant deals with them under the heading of the duty that a human being has toward himself merely as a moral being. The chapter analyzes Kant's arguments on each of those moral questions and concludes considering Kant's remark…
Kant und die Philosophie in weltbürgerlicher Absicht
Held every five years under the auspices of the Kant-Gesellschaft, the International Kant Congress is the world’s largest philosophy conference devoted to the work and legacy of a single thinker. The five-volume set Kant and Philosophy in a Cosmopolitan Sense contains the proceedings of the Eleventh International Kant Congress, which took place in Pisa in 2010.
