Abstract

Abstract I examine Kant’s claim in part one of Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason that moral reform requires both a ‘change of heart’ and gradual reformation of one’s sense ( R, 6: 47). I argue that Kant’s conception of moral reform is neither fundamentally obscure nor is it as vulnerable to serious objections as several commentators have suggested. I defend Kant by explaining how he can maintain both that we can choose our moral disposition via an intelligible choice and that we become good through a continuous struggle. I then provide an interpretation of how moral reform occurs in the phenomenal realm.

心灵的变化、道德品质与道德改造

在《纯粹理性边界内的宗教》的第一部分中，我考察了康德的主张，即道德改革既需要“心灵的改变”，也需要一个人的感觉的逐步改革(R, 6: 47)。我认为，康德的道德改革概念既不是从根本上模糊的，也不像一些评论家所说的那样容易受到严重反对。我为康德辩护，解释他如何既能坚持我们可以通过可理解的选择来选择我们的道德倾向，又能通过持续的斗争变得善良。然后，我对道德改革如何在现象领域发生进行了解释。

期刊介绍： The journal aims to publish the best contemporary work on Kant and Kantian issues and places an emphasis on those current philosophical debates which reflect a Kantian influence. Almost all recent Western philosophy makes some reference to the work of Kant, either consciously rejecting or consciously endorsing some aspect of that work. In epistemology, in philosophy of mind and language, in moral and political philosophy, and in aesthetics, such Kantian influences are widely acknowledged and extensively discussed. Kant"s work has also increasingly become a concern for the social and political sciences. The journal strengthens this interest both by establishing interpretations of Kant"s own writing and by discussing the substance of the related current philosophical debates.
