Feeling and Respect in Kant
Main Article Content
Abstract
I aim to clarify here Kant’s thematization of respect as a feeling. First, I examine the passages in which Kant addresses feeling to elucidate the elements that characterize it. I show that these are: its belonging as a representation to sensibility, its merely subjective reference, its quality of being pleasing or displeasing, its appraisal of concordance with life and its tendency to self-preservation or suppression. Secondly, I offer an exposition of respect in terms of these characteristics.
