【検証】カント倫理学は今でも使えるかを秋元康隆先生と対談

Is Kant's philosophy still useful in determining and considering right and wrong today? We spoke with Professor Yasutaka Akimoto, author of "Kant's Ethics for Living Now," about this book. Profile of Professor Yasutaka Akimoto (from Shueisha): Born in 1978. Lecturer at the University of Trier and researcher at the Kant Institute attached to the University of Trier. His specialty is ethics, particularly Kantian ethics. After graduating from the Department of Philosophy, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Nihon University, and completing his master's degree at Nihon University Graduate School, he traveled to Germany, the epicenter of Kant studies. He wrote his doctoral thesis under Professor Bernd Derfflinger, professor at the University of Trier and president of the Kant Society, and received his doctorate. He currently resides in Germany. His books include "Ethics of the Will: Learning the Courage to Do Good from Kant" (Getsuyosha). Yasutaka Akimoto (2022) "Kantian Ethics for Living Now," Shueisha Shinsho https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0B63FKVT... Synopsis What exactly is good and bad in modern society? This is how Kant would have thought. Due in part to the development of various technologies, standards of right and wrong are becoming increasingly blurred in modern society. Business, moral education, reproduction and medicine, environmental issues, AI, discrimination... How should we judge the various ethical issues that arise in modern society? The answer lies in Kant. While constantly referenced as an important classic in philosophy and ethics, Kant's work is often described as difficult to understand. However, the author, who earned a PhD in Kantian ethics in Germany, breaks it down to the utmost level of clarity. This book then presents practical ethics that we can use today.
