“…However, he does not elaborate on this idea. Ali and Pinzani (2023) discuss a number of options for how everyone could become economically independent and a full citizen. The closest they come to a UBI is universal capital endowments (p. 105).…”

I respond to a challenge raised by Jordan Pascoe: Kant’s conception of obtaining full citizenship through working oneself up necessarily condemns some people to passive citizenship. I argue that we should not focus on work to establish universal full citizenship. Rather, a Universal Basic Income, an income paid regularly to everyone and without conditions, can secure everyone’s full citizenship. Moreover, I argue that such a scheme is more Kantian in nature than hitherto assumed.

“…For them, well-functioning representative democracies had to be ultimately conceived as elective aristocracies. 21 For a recent argument that construes Kant's third quality of a republican citizen (independence) as a normative demand that every citizen should attain, and which would therefore require containment of economic inequalities within certain limits, see Alì and Pinzani (2022). 22 Thomas Christiano defends liberal democracy as a system that starts from the assumption of a structural and inevitable disagreement and uncertainty as to what is best for society (Christiano 2015: 463).…”

Why does Kant Think that Democracy is Necessarily Despotic?

Kant’s criticism of democracy has been traditionally defused with the consideration that Kant’s aversion is not to democracy per se, but to direct democracy. However, what Kant says – ‘to prevent the republican constitution from being confused with the democratic one, as commonly happens’ (ZeF, 8: 351) – appears to count not only against direct democracy, but also against conceptions of democracy closer to the ones we are accustomed to. By offering a new account of what Kant sees as the real problem of democracy (direct or not), the article unpacks a lesson about the limits of democracy that has gone largely unnoticed among political theorists and Kant specialists.
