| 英文摘要 |
Kant is widely believed to hold insanely extreme views about the morality of lying. This belief itself is a shameful lie, occasioned by a widely perpetuated misunderstanding of his views, perhaps even intentional, that arose from an exchange in 1797 between Kant and the French writer Benjamin Constant. But the misunderstanding is also fostered, and in part based on, widespread misunderstandings of Kant’s moral principle and his views about the relation of ethics to right and the philosophy of law. This paper seeks to set the matter straight and explain both Kant’s views on the ethical duty not to lie, and his aims in the late, brief essay“On a supposed right to lie from philanthropy”(1797). |
