Is Kantian Ethics Morally Alienating? Comments on Mudd
Kant’s philosophy is notoriously based on the dichotomy between the phenomenal and the noumenal world.

| description | Kant’s philosophy is notoriously based on the dichotomy between the phenomenal and the noumenal world. This dichotomy digs a rift across human nature by separating the animal and the rational parts of it, its heteronomous and autonomous components, duty and self-love.

Here I argue, contra Mudd, that there are at least two ways in which Kant leaves moral agents morally alienated, i.e., alienated from important dimensions of morality itself.
