Abstract:
|
This paper compares Kant’s and Plato’s views on the relationship between philosophy and politics. Our focus will be on the role that virtue and knowledge play in both theories. Our point of reference is Plato’s famous statement that philosophers should be kings or kings philosophers and Kant’s rejection of Plato’s demand (in Towards Perpetual Peace). As we will show, Kant believes that, because of our unsocial sociability, being in power is ethically perilous and impairs the free use of reason. While in earlier writings, such as the Idea, Kant entertains the ideal of enlightened, philosophical rulership, he later rejects it as absolutist propaganda in both Perpetual Peace and the Doctrine of Right. Kant’s later conception is that politics and philosophy should be separate and that politicians should consider what philosophers have to say about law and politics. As we will argue, his conception of a division of labor between philosophy and politics still presupposes certain competences and virtues on the side of political rulers.
