Abstract:
AbstractTraditionally, Kantian ethics has been thought hostile to agents’ well-being. Recent commentators have rightly called this thought into question, but they do not push their challenge far enough. For they assume, in line with the tradition, that happiness is all there is to well-being – an assumption which, combined with Kant’s rationalism about morality and empiricism about happiness, implies that morality and well-being are at best extrinsically related. Drawing on Kant’s underappreciated discussion of self-contentment, an intellectual analogue of happiness, I reconstruct an alternative account of morality’s relation to well-being. Morality is intrinsically related to well-being – and so is its own reward – not because it makes us happy but because it makes us self-contented.

Esta dissertação pode ser descrita como um estudo comparativo sobre a ética de Aristóteles e a filosofia moral de Kant, cujo objetivo principal é indicar uma relevante compatibilidade entre as visões desses filósofos sobre a relação entre as noções de felicidade e ação moral/virtuosa. Essa tarefa é cumprida em quatro estágios, a cada um dos quais corresponde um dos capítulos do trabalho. O primeiro lida com a interpretação do papel da felicidade e da ação virtuosa na Ética a Nicômaco. Os pareceres de Aristóteles sobre o tema são examinados e interpretados, o que resulta numa figura coerente de sua doutrina ética que parece capaz de responder bem a várias demandas das quais não apenas não se poderia dar conta segundo outras possíveis leituras, mas que também parecem fundamentais. O segundo é dedicado a esclarecer noções básicas da filosofia moral de Kant; nele, aspectos de sua moral deontológica, bem como seu papel na filosofia de Kant como um todo, são postos sob escrutínio. A comparação explícita das duas doutrinas consideradas nos capítulos anteriores começa a ter lugar no terceiro, onde as motivações e a efetiva realização das ações morais/virtuosas são discutidas e analisadas dos pontos de vista das interpretações já sugeridas das teses de ambos os pensadores. No quarto capítulo, as principais conclusões da dissertação são aduzidas a partir dos resultados obtidos em seu decorrer – resumidamente, eles nos indicam a plausibilidade de se considerar a noção aristotélica de felicidade como compatível em princípio com o arcabouço conceitual da moral de Kant.
This dissertation could be described as a comparative study concerning Aristotle s ethics and Kant s moral philosophy, whose main aim is to indicate a relevant compatibility between these two philosophers views on the relation between the notions of happiness and moral/virtuous action. This task is carried out in four stages, to each of which corresponds one of the chapters of the work. The first of them deals directly with the interpretation of the role of happiness and virtuous action in Ethica Nicomachea. Aristotle s views on the theme are surveyed and interpreted, which yields a coherent picture of his ethical doctrine which seems capable of answering quite well to several demands that not only could not be dealt with according to other possible readings, but which also seem fundamental. The second one is dedicated to clarifying basic notions of Kant s moral philosophy. Some aspects of his deontological moral are scrutinized, as well as their proper role within Kant s philosophy as a whole. The explicit comparison of the two doctrines considered in the previous chapters starts taking place in the third one, where the motivations and the effective realisation of the moral/virtuous actions are discussed and analysed from the viewpoints of the interpretations of both thinkers theses already suggested. In the fourth chapter, the main conclusions of the dissertation are drawn from the results obtained throughout it – in short, they lead us to consider plausible to regard the Aristotelian notion of happiness as compatible in principle with the conceptual framework of Kant s moral.

Herodotus and Plato both tell of the usurpation of the Lydian throne by Gyges, a subject of the king. Both accounts, moreover, maybe interpreted as parables reflecting on moral choice, external contingency, and their bearing on human happiness. Herodotus' Gyges, properly understood, is endowed with the resources and affective responses of a respectable, if ordinary, moral agent. He successfully navigates a pair of perilous dilemmas that will catapult him, without ambition or malevolence, into ultimate power, privilege and, presumably, happiness. Plato's account teases out, clarifies, and reframes issues implicit in Herodotus' tale, exploring how and why ordinary moral agents may fail in their choices, despite apparently desirable outcomes, visiting ruin on their potential happiness. In the process Plato self-critically illustrates the inefficacy of the Socratic elenchus alone to prevent or correct the motivational mistakes of such agents, and vigorously expands the role of philosophy in securing human happiness.

Abstract:
Throughout his work, Kant regularly glosses ‘morality’ (and cognate expressions) as ‘worthiness to be happy’ (Würdigkeit glücklich zu sein). As a rule, Kant’s commentators do not find this remarkable. Correctly understood, however, Kant’s gloss on ‘morality’ is remarkable indeed. This thesis shows why. In it, I argue that whenever we encounter Kant’s gloss, we are faced with an implicit, durable cluster of unjustified commitments; that these commitments both antedate and survive his ‘critical period’; that they are fundamentally practical in nature (i.e., that they are unexamined commitments to particular practices); and that these commitments entail a number of problematic theological consequences. I argue, in particular, that Kant’s gloss is a habit that signals, obscurely and implicitly, his antecedent commitments to the practice of capital punishment, on the one hand, and to a particular set of practical attitudes towards the happiness and unhappiness of immoral agents, on the other. I show that this habit has key implications for Kant’s thinking about the agent that he calls ‘God.’ My point of departure is Kant’s claim, in his Religion, that the human being’s particular deeds are imputable to her ‘all the way down,’ only on condition that the underlying ‘disposition’ (Gesinnung) from which they arise (according to their kind, qua moral or immoral) is imputable to her as well—that is, only if her (im)moral character may be regarded as the upshot of, or in some sense identical to, an utterly unassisted, unmotivated, originary deed on her part. I argue that Kant evades the question whether we really are permitted, without further ado, to regard this disposition (and with it an agent’s deeds) as so imputable. He simply affirms his commitment to the practice of imputing particular deeds to particular agents and, with this affirmation, affirms that he takes the warrant that it requires (the imputability of ‘Gesinnung’) to be secure. I argue, then, that the theoretical significance of imputation, as expressed in this extraordinary, evasive leap, supervenes on the urgency of the commitments that are expressed in Kant’s habitual glossing of ‘morality’ as ‘worthiness to be happy.’ The practice for which we would lack a warrant if the human being’s character were not imputable to her is the imputation of her deeds under a description (of imputation) that has immediate reference to this same ‘one’s’ punishment—specifically and only, however, to the extent that Kant takes punishments to be justifiable in none but strictly retributivist terms. These stakes and the constraining role of Kant’s habitual gloss are clearest, I argue, in his thinking about the practice of putting murderers to death—a practice, I argue, that has both a political and an eschatological significance for him.

Abstract:
Deux conceptions de l’union du bien et du bonheur s’opposent généralement. Selon la première, avoir conscience du bien suffit pour être heureux. Et selon la seconde, avoir conscience du bonheur suffit pour être vertueux. Cette thèse montre qu’il est possible de résoudre cette opposition, par une synthèse de concepts (entre le bien et le bonheur). Pour Kant, il est possible d’unir la vertu (le bien suprême) et le bonheur, c’est-à-dire d’unir la « morale » et la vie naturelle de l’homme. Il s’agit de réaliser la destination « morale » de l’homme. Pour cela, il faut trouver un accord entre le bien suprême et le bonheur. Cela est possible notamment par la paix, qui est pour Kant l’accord entre les hommes, comme but pour l’espèce humaine. Pour Kant, la « morale » doit être pensée de façon transcendantale, et non pas empirique. C’est pourquoi, l’union totale et définitive de la vertu et du bonheur est impossible. Cependant, cet idéal conduit l’homme et la société à une continuelle transformation (un perfectionnement de soi-même), cela en vue de rapprocher les générations futures du but suprême (le souverain bien)
Two conceptions of the union of the good and the happiness generally oppose. According to the first, to be conscious of the good is enough for being happy. And according to the second, to be conscious of the happiness is enough for being virtuous. This thesis shows that it is possible to resolve this opposition, by a synthesis of concepts (between the good and the happiness). For Kant, it is possible to unite the virtue (the supreme good) and the happiness, that is to say to unite the « moral » and the natural life of the man. It is question to realize the « moral » destination of the man. For that, it is necessary to find an agreement between the supreme good and the happiness. It is possible notably by the peace, which is for Kant the agreement between the men, as the purpose for the human race. For Kant, the « moral » must be thought in a transcendental way, and not empirical. That is why, the total and definitive union of the virtue and the happiness is impossible. However, this ideal leads the man and the society to a continual transformation (an improvement of oneself), that is to lead together the futures generations of the supreme purpose (the highest good)

Abstract:
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior
This master thesis aims at reconstructing the Kantian concept of the Highest Good (höchstes Gut) since its presentation in the Critique of pure reason`s Transcendental doctrine of method (1781), passing by Groundwork of the metaphysic of morals (1785) and the Critique of practical reason (1788), until the preface of The religion within the limits of reason alone (1793). We intend here to clarify the definition that Kant presents about the concept of the Highest Good, as well as its relation with morality. That way, we maintain that in the development of the critical philosophy Kant presented different perspectives about the Highest Good, taking into account the different meanings this concept has in Kant. The same applies to Kant s conception of the foundations of moral, considering that his arguments in different stages of the critical philosophy sometimes are unstable about the determination of the origin of the moral law. Thus, it is necessary to analyze the relation of morality to the Highest Good, because it is an extremely important element of this concept. After clarifying this relation, we approach the question, linked to Highest Good and morality, about how happiness can be an element of the concept of such object without compromising its characteristic of originating from pure rational will. Furthermore, we approached the problem of the importance of the Highest Good for Kant`s practical philosophy. We take the doctrine of the practical reason`s postulates as relevant to this question. Finally, we go into Kant`s philosophy of religion in which the concept of the Highest Good seems to adopt an anthropological character, representing the final end that rational human beings aim to attain.
Este trabalho consiste em uma reconstrução do conceito kantiano de Sumo Bem (höchstes Gut) desde sua apresentação na Doutrina transcendental do método da Crítica da razão pura (1781), perpassando pela Fundamentação da metafísica dos costumes (1785) e a Crítica da razão prática (1788), até o prefácio de A religião nos limites da simples razão(1793). Busca-se aqui, esclarecer a definição que Kant apresenta do conceito de Sumo Bem, assim como, de sua relação com a moralidade. Nesse sentido, observa-se que no desenvolvimento da teoria crítica, Kant expõe diferentes perspectivas a respeito do Sumo Bem, merecendo, por isso, atenção aos distintos significados usados desse conceito. O mesmo ocorre com a compreensão que ele possui da fundamentação moral, tendo em vista que sua argumentação nas diferentes etapas da filosofia crítica, por vezes, se revela instável no tocante à determinação da origem da lei moral. Por isso, faz-se necessário analisar a relação da moralidade com o Sumo Bem, uma vez que ela consiste num elemento extremamente relevante para esse conceito. Tendo esclarecida essa relação, aborda-se a questão vinculada ao Sumo Bem e a moralidade acerca de como a felicidade pode compor o conceito de tal objeto sem comprometer sua característica de ter origem na vontade racional pura. Ademais, aborda-se o problema referente à importância do Sumo Bem à filosofia prática de Kant. Para tanto, toma-se a doutrina dos postulados práticos como relevantes para a tentativa de solucionar essa questão. Por fim, adentra-se na filosofia da religião de Kant em que o conceito de Sumo Bem parece adquirir caráter antropológico, tendo em vista que ele representa o fim último da razão pura que os seres humanos racionais visam alcançar.

Full text
Abstract:
Die Dissertation greift zwei neuere Ansätze der Platonforschung (P. Stemmer, N. Blößner) auf. Demnach ist Platons ''Politeia'' keine Lehrschrift, sondern eine kohärente Argumentation, die zudem den im ''Phaidros'' entfalteten Kommunikationsregeln folgt, also auf konkrete Situationen, Beweisziele und Personen bezogen ist. Der Autor konzentriert sich besonders auf den letzten Aspekt und hier vor allem auf die jugendlichen Gesprächspartner des Sokrates, die Brüder Glaukon und Adeimantos. Er zeigt, dass deren Analyse, die öffentliche Meinung der Zeit impliziere eine starke Tendenz zum Egoismus, und das bei ihnen daraus erwachsene, im Dialog drängend artikulierte Bedürfnis nach Gewinnung einer fundierten Gegenposition, die sie von Sokrates erwarten, Anlage und Durchführung von dessen Argumentation in der Tat wesentlich beeinflussen. Weil eine allen Einwänden standhaltende Begründung stets den Nachweis erfordert, dass gerecht zu sein ein intrinsisch notwendiger Bestandteil der Eudaimonie, d.h. eines gelingenden Lebens ist, erweist sich die reflektierte Lebenswahl somit als das zentrale Thema der ''Politeia'', das den Dialog zusammenhält und seinen Aufbau sowie den Zusammenhang seiner vielen unterschiedlichen Sachthemen letztlich erklärt. Behandelt wird dieses Thema aber nicht abstrakt, sondern mit Bezug auf die konkrete Situation der Brüder, von denen Glaukon (so der Autor) die initiative Rolle zuzuschreiben sei. Trotzdem gelinge es Platon, das Gespräch nicht um die Entscheidung einzelner Personen für ihre individuelle Lebensführung kreisen zu lassen, sondern um die grundsätzliche – und sich somit auch auf den Leser des Textes beziehende – Frage, auf welcher Erkenntnisbasis, auf welcher methodischen Grundlage und mit welchem Grad an Gewissheit man solche Entscheidungen überhaupt treffen kann. Diese Sicht macht auch die methodischen und erkenntnistheoretischen Explikationen, die Platons Dialog in beträchtlichem Maße enthält, zu essentiellen Bestandteilen der Argumentation.
This dissertation picks up on two recent approaches in Platonic scholarship (P. Stemmer, N. Bloessner), which view Plato’s ''Politeia'' not as a doctrinal work, but rather a coherent argumentation, which, moreover, applies the rules of communication as laid out in the ''Phaedrus'' and is thus related to the argumentative goals of concrete persons in a specific situation. The author primarily focuses on the second aspect, particularly on Socrates’ young interlocutors, the brothers Glaucon and Adeimantus. He shows how their analysis, according to which the public opinion of their time implies a strong tendency towards egoism, and their consequent desire for a well-founded counterargument, for which they turn to Socrates, in fact determines the structure and development of the latter’s argumentation. Since a justification which can withstand all objections requires the demonstration that being just is an intrinsically necessary component of eudaimonia, i.e. of true happiness, a rational life choice thus emerges as the central theme of the ''Politeia'', which gives the dialogue its inner coherence and ultimately explains its structure as well as the connection between the various topics it deals with. This theme is not, however, developed abstractly, but in connection with the concrete situation of the brothers, with Glaucon (according to the author of the dissertation) taking the initiative. However, Plato nonetheless succeeds at not letting the discussion revolve around the particular decisions of an individual regarding a particular way of life, but rather around the fundamental question – which thus also relates to the reader of the text – as to the epistemological and methodological basis for such decisions and the degree of certainty with which they can be reached. According to this interpretation, the methodological and epistemological explications, which figure prominently throughout the dialogue, should be viewed as essential elements of the argumentation.

Abstract:
This chapter takes up the themes of Chapter 3—loving beauty’s formative power—in a dialogue with contemporary philosophers Alexander Nehamas and Elaine Scarry, as well as with (to a lesser extent) Iris Murdoch. It explores the nature of love, beauty, and morality through a dialogue across historical–contemporary, theological–philosophical lines. A number of prominent modern criticisms of Augustine focus on a fundamental feature of his thought: that everything in human life is ordered towards the promise of heavenly happiness. This chapter shows some of the resources Augustine offers contemporary discussions of aesthetics by arguing that the way he links beauty and morality accounts for the ethical demands of love elicited by attraction to beauty.
