Description
Reversing the usual order of interpretation, Donald Wilsonreinterprets Kant's moral theory through his later practical worksoffering a new "inner freedom" account informing obscure aspects ofKant's formal moral philosophy and the practical focus of ideals ofproper respect.This account transcends the narrow rational asceticism oftenassociated with Kant's view, embedding morality in our humanity,recognizing the vital role of emotion in moral life, and prioritizingframing moral commitments and questions of character overobedience to formal rules. In doing so, it makes community andcollective and individual judgment essential in giving content toideals of practical respect, creating important space for moraldisagreement and growth.
Focused on the integration of diverse norms and the livedexperience of morality, Wilson's account affords Kantians a nuancedunderstanding of the relationship between moral and personallife and everyday norms of fidelity, non-violence, rescue, andcare capable of guiding ordinary moral judgement and informingdeliberation in hard cases where different grounds of obligationconflict. It is essential reading for anyone working on Kant's moralphilosophy today.
