Kant's Doctrine of Right in the Twenty-first Century, Hardback Book

Kant's Doctrine of Right in the Twenty-first Century Hardback

Edited by Larry Krasnoff, Paula Satne, Nuria Sanchez Madrid

Hardback

Description

For a very long time, Kant's Doctrine of Right languished in relative neglect, even among those who wanted to defend a Kantian position in political philosophy.

Kant's more interesting claims about politics were often said to be located elsewhere.

This anthology examines a wide range of issues discussed by Kant in the Doctrine of Right and other closely related texts, including his views on social contract theory, private property, human rights, welfare and equality, civil disobedience, perpetual peace, forgiveness and punishment, and marriage equality.

The authors have all tested Kant's arguments for possible political application, reaching different and sometimes opposing conclusions.

The result is a highly original volume that not only enhances the understanding of Kant's political philosophy, but also invites substantive debate within the Kantian tradition and beyond.
