Enslin, S.J. Dissertation Director: Prof. Ronald Tacelli, S.J. Abstract This dissertation aims to examine the notion of ‘human dignity’ in Kant by means of a conversation with three Kantian scholars. One cannot understand Kant’s notion of human dignity without placing it in the context of his moral thought. For this reason we look in Chapter One at the philosopher Roger Sullivan. His major work Immanuel Kant’s moral theory includes a highly detailed treatment of human dignity. I shall present an analysis of his understanding within the context of his methodology and his general approach to Kant’s moral philosophy. We look in Chapter Two at Susan Shell’s ‘Kant on Human Dignity.’ In addition to this, we consider Shell’s methodology and some of her work on the early Kant where we find the roots of Kant’s conception of dignity. Chapter Three addresses Oliver Sensen’s novel interpretation of Kant’s use of the term ‘dignity.’ Utilizing the tools of Analytical Philosophy, he enters into dialogue with Kantian interpreters, suggesting that their understanding of dignity in Kant harbours elements at odds with Kant’s thought and that they thus fail to grasp the radical nature of Kant’s notion.

This philosophical interest directly connects with the Enlightenment project of centralizing personal autonomy and individual freedom as primary values of personhood. Self- binding represents an easily referenced action that introduces a possible clash between autonomy and freedom on the one hand seen as in conflict with other ancient basic human values like self- control and avoiding akrasia.

  • MORAL PSYCHOLOGY and KANTIAN IDEALS Kiran Bhardwaj a Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty At
    REASON, EMOTION, AND CONSEQUENCE: MORAL PSYCHOLOGY AND KANTIAN IDEALS Kiran Bhardwaj A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Philosophy. Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: Thomas E. Hill, Jr. Douglas MacLean Ryan Preston-Roedder Simon Blackburn Bernard Boxill © 2017 Kiran Bhardwaj ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kiran Bhardwaj: Reason, Emotion, and Consequence: Moral Psychology and Kantian Ideals (Under the direction of Thomas E. Hill, Jr.) My project is a study of moral ideals, and particularly moral ideals as they play a role in Kantian ethics. It takes Kant’s discussions of what he identified as ideals (the virtuous person, the ethical community, the highest good, and friendship) and uses those discussions to argue that Kantian ideals help Kantians respond to various features of our moral lives: as a concrete representation of the consequences of following the moral law (elicited through the imagination) that engages the emotions in a morally appropriate way. The chapters of this dissertation provide: first, a general account of what ideals are and how they function, thanks to their employment of the imagination—explaining precisely how ideals orient and inspire us. Then within the domain of Kantian ethics, it reviews the Kantian debate about the supererogatory and provides a new account using Kantian ideals as a way to explore beyond the traditional explanation of actions that are good to do but not required. Chapters 3 through 5 each explore three of the Kantian ethical ideals: the ideal of self-perfection, the ideal of the kingdom of ends, and the ideal of friendship.

  • Kant on Moral Autonomy Edited by Oliver Sensen Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-00486-3 - Kant on Moral Autonomy Edited by Oliver Sensen Frontmatter More information KANT ON MORAL AUTONOMY The concept of autonomy is one of Kant’s central legacies for contemporary moral thought. We often invoke autonomy as both a moral ideal and a human right, especially a right to determine one- self independently of foreign determinants; indeed, to violate a per- son’s autonomy is considered to be a serious moral offense.Y et while contemporary philosophy claims Kant as the originator of its notion of autonomy, Kant’s own conception of the term seems to differ in important respects from our present-day interpretation. Kant on Moral Autonomy brings together a distinguished group of scholars who explore the following questions: What is Kant’s conception of autonomy? What is its history and its influence on contemporary conceptions? And what is its moral significance? Their essays will be of interest both to scholars and students working on Kantian moral philosophy and to anyone interested in the subject of autonomy. oliver sensen is Associate Professor in Philosophy at Tulane University.
