Abstract

Abstract The standard attribution of ought implies can rules out the possibility of Kantianism permitting the existence of moral dilemmas. Against this, I argue that Kantianism both can and should permit the existence of moral dilemmas. This new take on moral dilemmas should be of particular urgency to those hoping to radicalize Kant, I argue, because the work of oppression theorists shows that moral dilemmas are particularly likely to strike those who are already most vulnerable. The insights of oppression theory also suggest that the heretofore overlooked social and political implications of moral dilemmas are just as philosophically significant as the metaethical and ethical implications.

康德论道德困境

“应当”的标准归因意味着“可以”排除了康德主义允许道德困境存在的可能性。与此相反，我认为康德主义既可以也应该允许道德困境的存在。我认为，对于那些希望将康德极端化的人来说，这种对道德困境的新看法应该特别紧迫，因为压迫理论家的工作表明，道德困境特别有可能打击那些已经最脆弱的人。压迫理论的见解还表明，迄今为止被忽视的道德困境的社会和政治含义与元伦理和伦理含义一样具有哲学意义。

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.
