Abstract

ARANGO, RODOLFO. KANTIAN REPUBLICANISM. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2013, vol.62, suppl.1, pp.49-72. ISSN 0120-0062.

On the basis of the interpretations of Peter Niesen and Reinhard Brandt, this study contrasts Kantian and civic republicanism, in order to evaluate whether Kant's methodological amorality is sufficient to motivate a people of demons to establish and maintain a republican constitution. The best reasons seem to speak in favor of Kant, but his proposal requires a greater differentiation of the reasons why such a constitution should be accepted, as well as a greater precision regarding the conditions necessary to maintain it.

Keywords : republican constitution; right; morality; republicanism; solidarity.
