This is an original investigation of the structure of human
morality, that aims to identify the place and significance of moral
deeds. "Kantian Deeds" revokes and renews the tradition of Kant's
moral philosophy. Through a novel reading of contemporary
approaches to Kant, Henrik Bjerre draws a new map of the human
capacity for morality. Morality consists of two different abilities
that are rarely appreciated at the same time. Human beings are
brought up and initiated into a moral culture, which gives them the
cognitive mapping necessary to act morally and responsibly. They
also, however, acquire an ability to reach beyond that which is
considered moral and thus develop an ability to reinterpret or
break 'normal' morality. By drawing on two very different resources
in contemporary philosophy - more conservative trends in analytic
philosophy and more radical sources in recent works of
psychoanalytically informed philosophy - and claiming that they
must be read together, "Kantian Deeds" provides a new understanding
of what is termed 'the structure of moral revolutions'.
Essentially, deeds are revolutionary changes of moral character
that can only be performed by such creatures that have acquired
one. "Continuum Studies in Philosophy" presents cutting-edge
scholarship in all the major areas of research and study. The
wholly original arguments, perspectives and research findings in
titles in this series make it an important and stimulating resource
for students and academics from a range of disciplines across the
humanities and social sciences.
