In The Moral Habitat, Barbara Herman offers a new and systematic
interpretation of Kant's moral and political philosophy. The study
begins with an investigation of some understudied imperfect duties
which, surprisingly, tell us some important but generally unnoticed
facts about what it is to be a moral agent. The second part of the
book launches a substantial reinterpretation of Kant's ethics as a
system of duties, juridical and ethical, perfect and imperfect,
that can incorporate what we learn from imperfect duties and do
much more. This system of duties provides the structure for what
Herman calls a moral habitat: a made environment, created by and
for free and equal persons living together. It is a dynamic system,
with duties from different spheres shaping and being affected by
each other, each level further interpreting its core
anti-subordination value. In the final part, Herman takes up some
implications and applications of this moral habitat idea. From
considering what would be involved, morally, in recognizing a human
right to housing to some meta-ethical issues about objectivity and
our responsibility for moral change, we come to appreciate the
resources of this holistic agent-centered Kantian view of morality.
