Review of Svensson, F. (2024). Descartes’s Moral Perfectionism. New York: Routledge.

Kant first publicized the concept of “metaphysics of morals” in the Critique of Pure Reason and further justified it in other works. However, we can state some distinctive features and perspectives of this project. There are reasons to single out three meanings of this concept: the entire project of pure moral philosophy (MM1), the late work with t...

This paper offers the first English-language philosophical treatment of Master Liu (Liuzi 劉子)—a treatise that gives a unique insight into the intellectual life of sixth-century China. Most probably written by Liu Zhou (d. 565) and known at the Tang court, the work was later neglected due to its eclectic label. This article argues that Liuzi integra...

The following theses address the questions of why, how and to what extent digitality can and should be made an object of philosophy. In arguing my position, I am combining the methods of Husserl’s transcendental phenomenology and Kant’s moral philosophy. Therefore, we must first briefly say a few words about these methods. Hence, in an initial st...

Introduction and Objectives: Some economic policies, such as income policies, are expected to create changes in the distribution or redistribution of income, which are called welfare needs, such as improving the condition of the poor and reducing the wealth and income of some people in society. Welfare requirements are discussed and investigated in...

Philosophers and scholars often overlook Kant’s foundational contribution to the concept of recognition (Anerkennung), yet it proves challenging to develop a comprehensive theory without integrating Kantian moral philosophy, particularly his conceptualization of respect. I contend that the demand for recognition necessitates a Kantian moral perspec...

Over the past two decades, the integration of sociology with the analytical and normative practices of bioethics has become firmly established. This integration has given rise to two similar yet distinct conceptions of bioethics: empirical bioethics, which utilizes social sciences to enhance ethical scrutiny, and critical bioethics, which not only...

Study 2 (N = 821) examined t...

Literature and the arts are vital locations for the analysis and construction of thought-initiated-realms and these realms allow us to reflect upon our role and place in this world. The effects of literary constructions are very real which can underpin hope, violence or exclusion and impact personal responses or public acts. Literary imagination ca...

In Kantian ethics, do we wrong someone when our use of them requires that they violate a duty to self, even when they have consented to that use? In this paper, I answer this question in the negative. Consent that constitutes a violation of a duty to self is impermissible yet normatively transformative. But it also matters how consent was obtained....

The wrong paradigm towards self and others leads humans to individual pride and collective egoism. Technocratic and mechanical views can obscure human dignity, because humans are considered as objects and usability values only. Anthropocentric, mechanistic and technocratic paradigms make individuals alienated from others, both with each other, as w...

Thro...

Immanuel Kant was a philosopher who put forward the idea of rational ethical philosophy. He is also a philosopher who succeeded in interpreting ethics in terms of moral imperatives, not only in terms of efforts to achieve happiness. He also proposed a rational transcendental philosophy as opposed to a speculative metaphysical-dogmatic philosophy. T...

Reflecting on the ethical and unethical ways of empathizing is a necessary task for historians interested in the ethics of history. Research on empathy often classifies its various parts into affective, cognitive, and prosocial dimensions. However, in historical scholarship , the cognitive-intellectual dimension of empathy is overemphasized to the...

This essay considers the profound influence of Aristotle’s philosophy on Adam Smith’s theories of sympathetic morality and imagination. In particular, it examines how Smith’s theories, often seen as Stoic, align with Aristotelian concepts; also, it analyses Smith’s interpretation of wonder as more than a philosophical catalyst, but also as a force...

Vicarious responsibility exists. It is (also) a species of moral responsibility. Nevertheless, it is seldomly discussed or considered as such in the main debates within moral philosophy. This article presents a case for the relevance of vicarious moral responsibility to several of these discussions. It seeks to provide new insights for the debate b...

Only the incurious and philosophically challenged doubt the significance of dignity as a central issue in human interactions. Human dignity is much debated in religion, law, moral philosophy, anthropology, psychiatry, bioethics, sociology, philosophical anthropology, psychology, communication studies, and elsewhere.

In this paper it is argued that the root cause of the environmental crisis is the moral condition of mankind. Over-indulgence, over-consumption and a desire for material wealth and possessions, far in excess of what is needed for survival and comfort, callous use of technology to overexploit the land and seas for profit, lack of diligence in addres...

David Schmidtz's book *Living Together* contains rich discussions of several important topics in political philosophy, political economy, legal philosophy, and moral philosophy. The overall theme tying these topics together is that our theories must be realistic, based on empirical evidence. Ideal theories ignore this. A famous example of such a th...

The concept of conscience is one of the main unsolved problems of moral philosophy.

Supererogation or the actions which are beyond the call of duty, is one of the ethical issues that has been given much attention today, and has raised a number of interesting questions and debates in moral philosophy. These acts don't seem to fit into any of the traditional categories of moral behavior—obligatory, permissible, or forbidden—because...

With the development of secular moral philosophy in the seventeenth century, moral philosophers began to explain morality as originating not in God’s plan but rather in nature, often in human ends and planning. A central challenge for this view was explaining how natural or human moral standards derive legitimacy and authority. In early modern mora...

The aim of this paper is to develop the notions of particularism and generalism in argumentation theory. Generalism is the claim that to argue we need general rules that specify which data support which conclusions, while particularism denies it. The problem is that it is not always clear what these rules consist of, and in what sense argumenta-tio...

Presenting a careful evaluation of Agamben’s overlooked contribution to ethics, this book explores his enigmatic yet central concept of th...

We directly compare the influences of impact and responsibility considerations on giving behavior. In moral philosophy, utilitarianism emphasizes the importance of the former, whereas theories of equity and desert argue for the importance of the latter.

The article examines certain aspect of Kwasi Wiredu’s moral philosophy in Cul­tural Universals and Particulars, and how that aspect of his moral philosophy is applicable to an issue of global concern such as racism. One of the major ways by which...

Alessandro Ferrara's moral philosophy is centered on the concept of “exemplarity”, that is conceived of as an aesthetic notion. I aim to use this kind of approach, that I interpret relying on the reference to the inductive inference, in order to deal with the issues of the “cancel culture”.

According to the Classical Pessimistic Induction (CPI), otherwise positive features like predictive and explanatory success actually cast doubt on theories that display them. After all, they negatively correlate with truth. From this historical track record, it is inferred that current best theories are probably not (even approximately) true. The C...

Kenneth Waltz once stated, unequivocally, that, ‘I consider myself to be a Kantian, not a positivist’. I explain what Waltz might have meant by this, and how deep this professed Kantianism ran. Such is the depth of the engagement, I argue, that it is no exaggeration to claim that Waltz’s political philosophy, his philosophy of history, his philosop...

The exaggeration of Oscar Wilde's aestheticism that the work of art is purely for beauty and pleasure and has nothing to do with morality makes it very difficult for his moral philosophy to be conceived. Even his novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, which is meant to balance his exaggeration of pleasure in his aestheticism, is often misinterpreted as...

Morality is...

Pragmatic vindicatory genealogies provide both a cause and a rationale and can thus affect the space of reasons. But how far is the space of reasons affected by this kind of genealogical argument? What normative and evaluative implications do these arguments have? In this paper, I unpack this issue into three different sub-questions and explain wha...

In this inquiry, it becomes evident that Hobbes' hedonism differs essentially from all the theoretical approaches of classical hedonism. The most important differentiation lies in the issue of rationality.

Ethics is a branch of philosophy, and, like mathematics, moral philosophy does not give ready-made answers to questions but teaches how one could systematically analyse and resolve a problem.

At the core of avoidable suffering, senseless destruction, and evilness, one often finds not a lack of morals, but a delusional overindulgence in them. Like someone bloating and sickening from overindulging in industrial sugar, the uncritical moralist overindulges in moral convictions – restlessly driven into a state of deadly fervor devoid of reas...
