DE HARO, VICENTE. DUTY OF BENEFICENCE IN KANT AND FICHTE. []. , 69, 174, pp.123-141. 28--2021. ISSN 0120-0062. https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v69n174.67642.
This paper presents Kant's and Fichte's arguments to put forward the ethical and particular duty of beneficence. It appraises both philosophers' reasons to locate this duty in a special position in their respective system of duties, contrary to the general criteria of these systems. It also comments in a comparative way, on the role of the faculty of judgment towards the margin of latitude that this ethical duty implies in each of both thinkers.
