Habitual Desire: On Kant’s Concept of Inclination

Tamar Schapiro has offered an important new 'Kantian' account of inclination and motivation, one that expands and refines Christine Korsgaard's view. In this article I argue that Kant's own view differs significantly from Schapiro's. Above all, Kant thinks of inclinations as dispositions, not occurrent desires; and he does not believe that they stem directly from a non-rational source, as she argues. Schapiro's 'Kantian' view rests on a much sharper distinction between the rational and non-rational parts of the soul. In the process of explaining these (and other) differences, I argue that Kant's own view is in some respects philosophically superior to Schapiro's.

Self‐Legislation and Self‐Command in Kant's Ethics

Pacific Philosophical Qtr

In his later writings, Kant distinguishes between autonomy and selfmastery or self-command. My article explains the relation between these two ideas, both of which are integral to his understanding of moral agency and the pursuit of virtue. I point to problems with other interpretations of this relation and offer an alternative. On my view, self-command is a condition or state achieved by those agents who become proficient at solving problems presented by the passions. Such agents are able to stick to the results of self-legislation over time and thereby achieve a form of temporally extended freedom.

“…Korsgaard (1996, 94) and Reath (2006, 154) agree. On the other hand, Frierson (2005) and McCarty (2009, 67ff. ) develop a very different reading of Kant’s theory of agency, according to which there is a sense in which motives determine choice.…”
