In this work, originally published in 1986, Victor Seidler explores
the different notions of respect, equality and dependency in Kant's
moral writings. He illuminates central tensions and contradictions
not only within Kant's moral philosophy, but within the thinking
and feeling about human dignity and social inequality which we take
very much for granted within a liberal moral culture. In
challenging our assumption of the autonomy of morality, Seidler
also questions our understanding of what it means for someone to
live as a person in his or her own right. The autonomy of
individuals cannot be assumed but has to be reasserted against
relationships of subordination. This involves a break with a
rationalist morality, so that respect for others involves respect
for emotions, feelings, desires and needs, and establishes a fuller
autonomy as a basis for freedom and justice.
