  1. Why Kant’s “Ethical State” Might Prove Instrumental in Challenging Current Social Pathologies.Herta Nagl-Docekal - 2021 - Kantian Journal 40 (4):156-186.
    As recent social research demonstrates, the life world is increasingly impacted by a corrosion of social bonds and aggressive habits expressed, for instance, in hate speech in the social media. Significantly, such phenomena have not been prevented from evolving within the framework of constitutional liberal states. In search of an appropriate mode of challenging the current social pathologies, we should examine Kant’s claim that, alongside the “juridico-civil (political) state”, an “ethico-civil state”, uniting human beings “under laws of virtue alone”, needs (...)

  • Nach einer erneuten Lektüre: Max Horkheimer, Die Sehnsucht nach dem ganz Anderen.Herta Nagl-Docekal - 2020 - Deutsche Zeitschrift für Philosophie 68 (5):659-688.
    Abstract“What we call meaning is bound to vanish”: Under this heading, an interview with Max Horkheimer was published in Der Spiegel (Jan 5, 1970). Revisiting this interview, the article focuses on Horkheimer’s thesis that human beings share the “longing that the injustice which characterizes the world must not be the final word”. It examines the extent to which Horkheimer’s notion of the “desire for the totally other” may be inspired by Kant’s claim that religion is grounded in the “need of (...)

  • Der Schatten der Tugend. Kant über die unergründliche Tiefe des Herzens.Ursula Renz - 2021 - Kantian Journal 40 (4):11-42.
    Among the most peculiar traits of Kant’s critical philosophy is the contention that, while we can know our moral maxims and can thus reflect on our actions from a moral point of view, we cannot really know whether in a given situation our actions are actually motivated by those maxims. This means that, although we have a firm sense of our moral duties, we can never be certain whether some particular action of ours is done from duty or simply in (...)

  • Transformationen der Kantischen Postulatenlehre im „Cambridge Pragmatism“.Ludwig Nagl - 2021 - Kantian Journal 40 (4):43-75.
    The “Cambridge pragmatists”, Charles S. Peirce, William James and Josiah Royce, are at least in two respects significantly indebted to Kant: first, as von Kempski, Apel and Murphey have shown, with regard to the epistemological issues investigated in pragmatism; secondly, with regard to the various pragmatic approaches to religion, something which has been long overlooked. These approaches are best understood as innovative re-readings of Kant’s postulates of freedom, immortality, and God. Since Hilary Putnam pointed out — in his 1992 book (...)
