In this work, originally published in 1986, Victor Seidler
explores the different notions of respect, equality and dependency
in Kanta (TM)s moral writings. He illuminates central tensions and
contradictions not only within Kanta (TM)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.
