Abstract

This paper centers on two Kantian themes that distinguish Friedlaender’s Kant for Children: The transition from philosophical ethics to the teaching of virtue, made possible by a Kantian ‘metaphysics of morals’ that emphasizes purity and autonomy, and the strongly egalitarian point of view that, on closer inspection, underpins Kant’s rejection of beneficent action from sympathy.
