Is there any moral obligation to improve oneself, to foster and
develop various capacities in oneself? From a broadly Kantian point
of view, Self-Improvement defends the view that there is such an
obligation and that it is an obligation that each person owes to
him or herself. The defence addresses a range of arguments
philosophers have mobilized against this idea, including the
argument that it is impossible to owe anything to yourself, and the
view that an obligation to improve onself is overly 'moralistic'.
Robert N. Johnson argues against Kantian universalization arguments
for the duty of self-improvement, as well as arguments that bottom
out in a supposed value humanity has. At the same time, he defends
a position based on the notion that self- and other-respecting
agents would, under the right circumstances, accept the principle
of self-improvement and would leave it up to each to be the person
to whom this duty is owed.
