| Summary: | In this contribution we will discuss the demandingness objection with regard
to Kant’s ethics. While in the literature there has been an emphasis on this issue with regard to
imperfect duties, our main goal is to show Kantian ethics has resources to resort to in the case of
the demandingness objection in the class of perfect duties. For doing this, first we will discuss the
inherent difference between imperfect and perfect duties while the duty of rescuing being a case
in-between the two classes of duties through linguistic proof. Furthermore, we consider different
possible components of a moral theory, introduced by Scheffler, which can lead to
demandingness: (i) a required process of decision making, (ii) overridingness and (iii) the
stringent content of demands. While we concur with Kantian critics that the stringent content of
Kantian ethics may be a source of demandingness, we will show that Kantian ethics has resources
to respond to demandingness arisen from other components. For this purpose we discuss Kant’s
notion of “Vorsatz” (intention), accompanied by the device of Flouting, introduced by Grice in
his Conversational Implicatures. |
