Doyle Kant’s Philosophy of History 243 Allen W. Wood Bibliography 263 A Brief Sketch of Kant’s Life and Works Immanuel Kant was born in Königsberg, East Prussia, in 1724, as the son of a harness maker. He attended the local university, and from 1747 to 1754 he worked as a private tutor. During this time he submitted two essays as dissertations, which qualified him for a position as an unsalaried instructor at the Königsberg university. He lectured on a broad range of courses in philosophy, mathematics, and the natural sciences, living off his students’ course fees and publishing a number of works in philosophy and the natural sciences. His goal was to become a philosophy professor in Königsberg, however, and he rejected several other offers before becoming Professor of Logic and Metaphysics at the University of Königsberg in 1770. This was the start of the so-called silent decade during which Kant published very little and worked out the arguments of the book with which he would establish his lasting reputation: the Critique of Pure Reason (1781). In this work, Kant examines the limits and scope of human knowledge, especially metaphysical knowledge. His revolutionary approach was based on the assumption that the specific makeup of the human cognitive faculties deter- mines crucial structural features of how world appears to us and, at the same time, sets radical limits to metaphysical knowledge. Initial misunderstand- ings among his readers prompted Kant to restate his views in the Prole- gomena (1783). Once the revolutionary nature of his theory was under- stood, Kant became famous. In the Critique of Pure Reason Kant stressed the importance of his new approach for ethics, and a few years later he went on to publish two ground- breaking works in ethical theory: the Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals (1785) and the Critique of Practical Reason (1788). During this time, Kant also wrote the Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science (1786). During the 1780s he published a number of essays in the philosophy of history, touching on matters of politics and international peace: ‘‘Idea for a Universal History from a Cosmopolitan Perspective’’ (1784), ‘‘An An- swer to the Question: What Is Enlightenment?’’ (1784), and ‘‘Conjectural Beginning of Human History’’ (1786). In 1790 he published the Critique of x Kant’s Life and Works Judgment, in which he expounds his theory of aesthetics and theory of biology. His 1793 book, Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason, involved him in a conflict with the censor. During the 1790s Kant’s interest in political theory and practice intensified, as a consequence, no doubt, of the French Revolution and its aftermath. This is evident in ‘‘On the Com- mon Saying: This May Be True in Theory, but It Does Not Hold in Prac- tice’’ (1793), Toward Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Sketch (1795), and the Metaphysics of Morals (1797). In 1798 Kant published The Contest of the Faculties and Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View, the latter based on his very popular lectures on the subject. During the final years of his life Kant suffered from Alzheimer’s disease. He died in Königsberg in 1804. A Note on the Texts This collection contains Kant’s main writings, published during his life- time, on politics, peace, and history, in a new translation by David L. Colclasure. The translation was based on the text in Kants gesammelte Schriften, edited by the Royal Prussian (later German) Academy of Sci- ences (Berlin: Georg Reimer, subsequently Walter de Gruyter, 1902–), also called the Akademie edition. Below is a list of the texts included in this volume, with their location in the Akademie edition (volume number: pages), their German title, and bibliographical details of their first publication. The date of the second edition is mentioned where the editors of the Akademie edition used this as their source. ‘‘Idea for a Universal History from a Cosmopolitan Perspective’’ (Ak 8:15–31) [‘‘Idee zu einer allgemeinen Geschichte in weltbürgerlicher Absicht’’] Berlinische Monatsschrift, November 1784 ‘‘An Answer to the Question: What Is Enlightenment?’’ (Ak 8:33–42) [‘‘Beantwortung der Frage: Was ist Aufklärung?’’] Berlinische Monatsschrift, December 1784 ‘‘Conjectural Beginning of Human History’’ (Ak 8:107–23) [‘‘Mutmaßlicher Anfang der Menschengeschichte’’] Berlinische Monatsschrift, January 1786 Critique of Judgment (entire book: Ak 5:165–485; selected text: § 83– § 84: 5:429–36) [Kritik der Urteilskraft] Berlin and Libau: Lagarde and Friederich, 1790 The Akademie edition is based on the second edition, 1793. ‘‘On the Common Saying: This May Be True in Theory, but It Does Not Hold in Practice’’ (Ak 8:273–313; part 2, 289–306, and 3, 307–13) xii A Note on the Texts [‘‘Über den Gemeinspruch: Das mag in der Theorie richtig sein, taugt aber nicht für die Praxis’’] Berlinische Monatsschrift, September 1793 Toward Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Sketch (Ak 8:341–86) [Zum ewigen Frieden: Ein philosophischer Entwurf ] Königsberg: Friedrich Nicolovius, 1795 The Akademie edition is based on the second, augmented edition, 1796. Metaphysics of Morals (entire book: Ak 6:203–493; selected text: § 43– § 62: 6:309–55) [Metaphysik der Sitten] The selected text was first published in Metaphysische Anfangsgründe der Rechtslehre. Königsberg: Friedrich Nicolovius, in early 1797. This book was later published together with the Metaphysische Anfangsgründe der Tugendlehre under the title Metaphysik der Sitten (Königsberg: Friedrich Nicolovius, 1797). The Akademie edition is based on the text of the second edition of the Rechtslehre (Doctrine of Right), from 1798. The Contest of the Faculties (entire text: Ak 7:1–116; selected text: part 2, 7:77–94) [Der Streit der Fakultäten] Königsberg: Friedrich Nicolovius, 1798 Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View (entire book: Ak 7:117– 333; selected text: 7:321–33) [Anthropologie in pragmatischer Hinsicht] Königsberg: Friedrich Nicolovius, 1798 The Akademie edition is based on the second edition, 1800.

  • Ian Shapiro Against Impartiality, December 8, 2015
    Against Impartiality Ian Shapiro Journal of Politics, forthcoming 2016 Iustitia, the goddess of justice, holds a sword in her right hand and a set of scales in her left. The sword represents the power to punish, while the scales, held slightly above it, signal that fair weighing of the merits comes first. But it is the blindfold, common in depictions of her since the sixteenth century, that proclaims her impartiality. Lady Justice is blind. 1 She screens out any risk of favoritism, special pleading, or irrelevant distraction so as to render decisions that embody unbiased reason. It is this image of justice as, above all, impartial that many in our generation of political philosophers have found alluring. In my view they are misguided. Lady Justice is indeed blind; she cannot help us see what justice is or what it requires. My goal is to establish that arguments about the justice of political arrangements do not turn in any important way on the idea of impartiality. To the extent that impartiality does play a role, this is either in the application of ideas about justice that have been defended on some other grounds, or impartiality turns out on inspection to be a stalking horse for those other grounds. Put differently, disagreements about the justice of political arrangements cannot be settled by appeal to impartiality. Rather, hostility to domination, or something close to it, usually does the heavy lifting. If I am right, people would do better to recognize that debates about impartiality are confusing red herrings and focus instead on the sources of domination and the means of preventing it.

Joseph Schumpeter went so far as to characterize Rousseau’s account as the “classical” theory of democracy, even though his was really a neoclassi- cal view—an eighteenth-century adaptation of the ancient Greek theory in which democracy had meant ruling and being ruled in turn. 1 Many commentators have followed Schumpeter’s lead in treating Rousseau as the father of modern democratic theory, yet it is my argument here that John Locke merits the distinction.

The first third of the course will be concerned with classic treatments of subject from Smith to Schumpeter. The middle third will deal with contemporary writings on capitalism and democratic regulation, with particular attention to the ways in which apparently technical matters conceal political conflicts and choices. The final third will focus particularly on the financial sector, with attention to the lessons to be gleaned from the political and social responses to the global credit crisis of 2008-10. An intensive case study of the relationship between high-powered financial institutions and the political elites and central banks of major western countries will be a major focus of this segment. Requirements: Students will be expected to write either two 10 page papers (one due by midterm, the other at the end of the semester), or a 20 page research paper. Students who choose the second option must discuss a one- to two-page paper prospectus with the instructor and submit it for approval ahead of time.

  • A Natural Law Critique of Deliberative Democracy A
    SELF-CONTRADICTIONS AND MORALITY: A NATURAL LAW CRITIQUE OF DELIBERATIVE DEMOCRACY A Thesis Presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Robert W. Sidwell June 2007 Abstract Should democracy itself be a value worth striving for? If so, should it take precedence over other values? Is it possible to “add” democracy to a list of these other valuables and treat them all as equally good? Finally, how did the Framers of the United States Constitution view democracy, and why? This thesis seeks to answer these questions. It argues that theories of natural law, not deliberative or direct democracy, offer a level of theoretical precision and protection for human rights and freedoms that democracy cannot be safely trusted to do if it is without the guidance of such a law. This thesis utilizes such natural law theories as those of St. Thomas Aquinas and John Locke to critique deliberative democratic theories, and concludes that democracy has been seen as usually good, but never as an end-in-itself, and thus only as an instrumental end for fulfilling some other good. 3 Table of Contents Page Abstract............................................................................................................................... 2 Table of Contents................................................................................................................ 3 Introduction........................................................................................................................

Chapter 5 Toward a Joint Future beyond the Iron Curtain East–West Politics of Global Modelling Eglė Rindzevičiūtė This chapter argues that computer-based global modelling produced particular long-term horizons which played an important, transformative role in Soviet governance by opening it up to East–West cooperation. Global modellers conceptualized the planet as a complex, interconnected system, the understanding of which required transnational scientific cooperation, enabling both scientists and data to cross national boundaries and Cold War divisions.1 In turn, Soviet scientists forged and used the idea of the long-term future of the world to reveal and criticize problems being experienced, but not always acknowledged, in the Soviet Union. A history of computer-based global modelling is, therefore, a history of intertwining globalization, the transformation of the Soviet regime, and East–West transfer. The first computer-based global models of social and economic development were produced under the auspices of international organizations, which brought together

  • Hume's Theory of Public Reason
    Geoff Sayre-McCord January 26, 2017 Hume’s Theory of Public Reason1 Introduction Public reason theories– however they are developed – embrace the idea that principles, rules, or institutions have authority only if those who fall within their scope have independent reason to accept them.2 On such views two claims are crucial. The first is that the authority of a principle, rule, or institution requires that those who fall within its scope have independent reason to accept and conform to it. Where such reasons are lacking the principle, rule, or institution may have an impact on what reasons people have, but will not itself be a source of reasons agents would otherwise have. The second is that the shape and substance of the principles, rules, and institutions that do have authority is sensitive to differences among people that make a difference to which principles, rules, and institutions they might have reason to accept and conform to. According to public reason theorists, these differences among people make a difference to what can legitimately be demanded of them and so to which principles, rules, and institutions have authority for them. Against this background, our public reasons are the reasons we share with others, thanks to there being principles, rules, or institutions that have authority for us in virtue of our each having (potentially different) reason to accept and conform to them. And, public reason theorists usually argue, these public reasons reflect our respect for each other as free and equal, properly subject to demands only when those demands could, in the appropriate way, be accepted by us.

  • I Ntr O Ducti
    INTRO DUCTI ON The central topic of this book is the meaning of privacy according to Aristotle. I propose that Aristotle's political works present a vivid and substantive conception of the private. It is widely be­ lieved, though, that political philosophy did not take an interest in privacy until the emergence of classical liberalism in the seven­ teenth century. Most interpretations of Aristotle's political philoso­ phy in particular indicate that he regards the private only as a precondition to the public; commentators argue or assume that he equates the private with the household. 1 What accounts for these misreadings? Two possible sources are Aristotle's usage of the word idios and classical liberalism. The word idios, "private" or "one's own," usually means in Aristotle's corpus simply what is not common, public, or relative to the regime. 2 From this meaning one might infer that Aristotle treats the private only in contradis­ tinction to the public. 3 Modern expositors may infer that Aristotle 1 For a famous example, see Hannah Arendt, The Human Condition (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1958), 37. 2 H. Bonitz, Index Aristoteiicus, 2d ed. (Graz: Akademische Druck-U. Verlag­ sanstalt, 1955), 339. Thus, bios idios is a way of life that is not "the common way of life of the city [koinon tes poleos]" or is not politically active (ouk ekoinonesan praxeon politikon) (Pol 1265a26, 1273b27-29). 3 It is also inaccurate to suggest, as Arendt does, that Aristotle ("the Greeks") thought privacy idiotic, presumably because one meaning of idiotes is "ignoramus" (Human Condition, 38).
