Abstract

TOMASSINI, Fiorella. KANT'S CRITIQUE OF POLITICAL EUDAIMONISM IN ÜBER DEN GEMEINSPRUCH: DAS MAG INDER THEORIE RICHTIG SEIN, ABERTAUGT NICHT FÜR DIE PRAXIS. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2015, vol.64, n.158, pp.107-122. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v64n158.40154.

Kant's position on the link between law and the natural impulse toward happiness is examined. If the State is established to satisfy particular ends, the result is a justification of despotism and popular rebellion. Two hypotheses are given: a) the principle of happiness should be replaced by the idea of a general legislative will as the only normative-evaluative criterion for the legitimacy of political obligation; and b) this juridic principle a priori requires the sovereign and the people to adopt the perspective of general will to judge the prevailing political power.

Keywords : I. Kant; eudaimonism; State; general will.
