BEADE, Ileana P. Observations Regarding the Relationship Between Ethics and Right in The Metaphysics of Morals. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2016, vol.65, n.162, pp.135-160. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v65n162.49558.

The article examines the -widely argued- relationship between ethics and right within the frame of Kant's practical philosophy. In order to clear up some observations made on The Metaphysics of Morals, the article analyzes the distinction between legal and ethical legislation. Taking into consideration freedom as an innate right, the article reconstructs various different interpretations regarding the relationship between ethics and right. This tries to show that, although the relationship in question is inseparable, its specificity does not allow to consider philosophy of law as a mere derivation of moral philosophy.

Palabras clave : I. Kant; right; ethics.
