Description
Kant on Social Suffering provides a comprehensive analysis of how Immanuel Kant’s critical philosophy engages with issues of social suffering and collective human welfare. Nuria Sánchez Madrid argues that Kant’s work contains important resources for understanding and addressing social injustice, despite common misconceptions about the limitations of Kantian ethics for political philosophy.
The book demonstrates how Kant’s categorical imperative, autonomy, and dignity principles extend beyond individual morality to encompass social and political dimensions. Sánchez Madrid examines Kant’s treatment of poverty, inequality, and institutional structures that perpetuate suffering. By bridging historical Kant scholarship with contemporary political philosophy, this work reveals how Kantian thought can inform modern approaches to social justice and collective welfare, making it essential reading for philosophers interested in ethics, political philosophy, and the practical applications of transcendental idealism.
