The Aristotelian distinction between technical and moral reason, production and interaction permeates Habermas’s thought. But in moral theory, Habermas’s main emphasis is on the decontextualized justification of moral norms, while Aristotle’s focus is on contextualized judgment. The paper argues that Aristotle’s theory of practical wisdom could be instructive for… Čítať ďalej

The paper deals with the distinction between different aspects of autonomy. Kant’s two kinds of freedom are discussed. Regarding human rights there are interpreters who claim that autonomy and human rights are barely distinguishable and, by contrast, other thinkers who deny any relevance of autonomy for human rights. The author tries to propose a middle ground… Čítať ďalej

This paper deals with autonomy in political philosophy and theories of justice. The starting point is a critique of traditional, abstract concepts of autonomy (stoicism, social contract theory), which, according to Martha C. Nussbaum, fail to adequately respond to real human vulnerability and inequality. It presents an alternative – the capabilities approach, which… Čítať ďalej

John Stuart Mill asks in Utilitarianism how we know the first principles of morality. He answers that desire, which he compares to sensory faculties, is how we know that something is desirable. I suggest we take him at his word – desire is the faculty, or something very similar, of moral perception – and I give some provisional analysis of this idea. In assigning… Čítať ďalej

This paper offers an interpretive framework for understanding Kant’s “secret article” in Toward Perpetual Peace as contributing to a three-step transition toward a republican constitution. First, rulers permit philosophers to speak freely and publicly and learn from them in secret. Second, rulers extend this freedom of public reason to all citizens, reflecting Kant’s… Čítať ďalej
