Motive and Rightness in Kant's Ethical System
In Kant's Metaphysics of Morals: Interpretative Essays. Oxford University Press (2002)
Abstract
Some contemporary intepreters of Kant maintain that on Kant's view fulfilling duties of virtue require doing so from the motive of duty. I argue that there are interpretive and doctinal reasons for rejecting this interpretation. However, I argue that for Kant motives can be deontically relevant; one's motives can affect the deontic status of actions.Author's Profile
