The Interconnection between Willing and Believing for Kant’s and Kantian Ethics
International Philosophical Quarterly 54 (2):143-157 (2014)
Abstract
In this paper I look at the connection between willing and believing for Kant’s and Kantian ethics. I argue that the two main formulations of the categorical imperative are relativized to agents according to their beliefs. I then point out three different ways in which Kant or a present-day Kantian might defend this position. I conclude with some remarks about the contrast between Kant’s legal theory and his ethical theoryAuthor's Profile
