Vrlina i integritet u Kantovoj etici

Abstract

Our goal in this paper is to shed light on and elaborate upon the connections between Kant’s theses on virtue, which he discusses in his Metaphysics of Morals. Leaning on Kant’s text, we will focus on the relation between virtue and inclination, and the relation between virtue and duty. We will claim that the concept of virtue, as viewed by Kant, corresponds to the contemporary concept of moral integrity, and we will attempt to show that Kant’s implicit view on integrity can rival some of today’s views.

U ovom radu cilj nam je da osvetlimo i međusobno povežemo Kantove teze o vrlini koje on iznosi u svojoj Metafizici morala. Vodeći se Kantovim tekstom, usredsredićemo se na odnos vrline i sklonosti, i odnos vrline i dužnosti. Tvrdićemo da pojmu vrline, kako je Kant shvata, odgovara savremeni pojam moralnog integriteta i nastojaćemo da pokažemo da Kantovo implicitno shvatanje integriteta može parirati nekim današnjim shvatanjima.
