Rescuing Autonomy from Kant

More about the book

The book presents a critical examination of Kant's ethics through a Marxist lens, asserting that the relationship is one of critique rather than irrelevance or complementarity. Furner argues that while Kant's categorical imperative relies on unmotivated belief in God, the concept of autonomy can be redefined through contradictions within capitalism. This redefinition ultimately advocates for a commitment to socialism, highlighting the philosophical intersections between Kantian ethics and Marxist thought.
