    The Value of Mere Willing: Revisiting Kant’s Argument for the Formula of the End in Itself.Tom Bailey - 2025 - Kant Studien 116 (1):1-21.
    In this article I attempt to explain Kant’s notoriously obscure argument for the principle that every rational being should be treated as an “end,” and not merely as a means. I take my lead from the appearance in the argument of terms and ideas that he uses earlier in the Groundwork to express two distinctive features of moral value and to make a related claim about how moral value is achieved. I argue that, of the candidates for the “end” of (...)

    Die Frage der Zurechnung. Ein Aspekt in der Kontroverse zwischen Kant und Reinhold über Willensfreiheit.Martin Bondeli - 2025 - Kant Studien 116 (1):54-76.
    In his understanding of imputation, developed centrally in the Metaphysics of Morals, Kant favors the point of view of the (real and ideal) judge who applies the moral law to an acting person. Reinhold, on the other hand, when speaking of imputation, emphasizes the role of the autonomous and scrupulous acting person. This is a consequence of his view that free will is the faculty of a morally capable person to decide for or against the moral law. Considering the relevant (...)

    Ulrich, Kant und Kraus über Moralität und moralische Zurechenbarkeit.Silvan Imhof - 2025 - Kant Studien 116 (1):26-53.
    Kant’s doctrine of the compatibility of the causal determinism of the natural world with causation through freedom brought a new approach to the debate on freedom and necessity that did not meet with everyone’s approval. In 1788, Johann Heinrich August Ulrich presented his Eleutheriologie, a comprehensive critique of Kant’s doctrine and at the same time a proposal for a deterministic moral theory. Kant read the Eleutheriologie, as evidenced by a few notes, and his friend Christian Jakob Kraus published a review (...)

    Triebfeder, Zurechenbarkeit und empirische Psychologie: C. C. E. Schmids Handlungstheorie im Ausgang von Kant.Manja Kisner - 2025 - Kant Studien 116 (1):77-99.
    C. C. E. Schmid began his academic career as a Kantian and became an influential commentator on Kant’s works. In the course of his career, however, he devoted himself increasingly to the philosophical treatment of empirical topics. Schmid’s turn towards the empirical is evident in his Attempt at a Moral Philosophy and is further developed in his Empirical Psychology and Physiology, Treated Philosophically. This paper examines Schmid’s change of perspective by focusing on his concept of moral imputability. It argues that (...)

  6. Wille, Willkür und moralische Zurechnung bei Johann Christoph Hoffbauer.Katerina Mihaylova - 2025 - Kant Studien 116 (1):113-134.
    Moral judgements usually concern the moral responsibility of an acting person. Someone is considered praiseworthy or blameworthy for an action based on whether that action is in accordance with or against moral norms. On a Kantian account, the essential issue is the motivation of the acting person, as this is a criterion for being a moral cause of the action i.e. for intending it. Only moral causation permits the moral imputation of the action to the acting person, and moral motivation (...)

    Die Schuld der Trägheit. Fichte über moralische Zurechenbarkeit.Jörg Noller - 2025 - Kant Studien 116 (1):100-112.
    This paper reconstructs Fichte’s theory of moral imputability. The paper argues that Fichte attempts to solve the problem of attributing immoral actions by introducing his concept of moral inertia, thereby drawing on Leibniz’s account. According to Fichte’s System of Ethics, moral inertia is not merely a state of moral passivity but can be attributed to laziness with regard to reflection, due to moral self-deception. The paper analyzes three kinds of moral self-deception and interprets them in light of what Fichte calls (...)
