| Summary: | In this paper I discuss some relevant theses of Caranti’s Kant’s Political
Legacy, whose aim is to provide a consistent account of how we could develop
Kant’s political thought and see to what extent Kant’s insights can help us
to critically understand the 21st century’s political world. First, I will
focus on autonomy as the ground of dignity and discuss Caranti’s arguments
against the exclusiveness of the Categorical Imperative as the sole
principle of true moral agency. Second, I will take into account Caranti’s
views on history and consider whether human rational nature can be regarded
as containing teleological - though non-biological - elements, thereby
questioning Caranti’s Separability Thesis. |
