Kant and Colonialism: Historical and Critical Perspectives [Repost]




Kant and Colonialism: Historical and Critical Perspectives by Katrin Flikschuh


English | Jan. 20, 2015 | ISBN: 0199669627 | 256 Pages | PDF | 1.94 MB




This is the first book dedicated to a systematic exploration of Kant"s position on colonialism. Bringing together a team of leading scholars in both the history of political thought and normative theory, the chapters in the volume seek to place Kant"s thoughts on colonialism in historical context, examine the tensions that the assessment of colonialism produces in Kant"s work, and evaluate the relevance of these reflections for current debates on global justice and the relation of Western political thinking to other parts of the world.

Ought Implies Kant: A Reply to the Consequentialist Critique by Joel Marks




Ought Implies Kant: A Reply to the Consequentialist Critique by Joel Marks


English | 28 Dec. 2008 | ISBN: 0739128779 | 132 Pages | PDF | 1 MB




Ought Implies Kant offers an original defense of the ethical theory of Immanuel Kant, and develops an extension of that theory"s account of moral duty to include direct duties to nonhuman animals. The discussion centers on a critical examination of consequentialism, the view that the rightness or wrongness of an action is determined solely by its consequences.
