The Contingency of Evil: Rethinking the Problem of Universal Evil in Kant's 'Religion'
In Oliver Thorndike (ed.), Rethinking Kant: Volume 3. Cambridge Scholars Press (2011)
Abstract
In this paper I explore how three seemingly incompatible Kantian theses–a libertarian notion of freedom, the inscrutability of one’s fundamental moral maxim, and the ubiquity of evil–can each be maintained without contradiction. I do this by arguing against the popular notion that in his 'Religion within the Bounds of Mere Reason,' Kant attributes 'radical evil' to all human beings.Author's Profile
