31 “Critics have charged that there are gaps in the logic of Kant’s derivation of the formula of universal law.<br />

Here I defend that derivation against these charges, partly by emphasizing a neglected teleological principle<br />

that Kant alluded to in his argument, and partly by clarifying what he meant by actions’ “conformity to<br />

universal law.” He meant that actions conform to universal law just when their maxims can belong to a<br />

unified system of principles. An analogy with objects’ conformity to universal law in nature helps show how<br />

Kant was correct in deriving the formula of universal law from the premises of his argument.”<br />

32 “In this paper I argue that, on Kant's view, the work of genius serves as a sensible exhibition of the Idea of<br />

the highest good. In other words, the work of genius serves as a special sign that the world is hospitable to<br />

our moral ends and that the realization of our moral vocation in such a world may indeed be possible. In the<br />

first part of the paper, I demonstrate that the purpose of the highest good is not to strengthen our motivation<br />

to accept the moral law as binding for us but, rather, to strengthen our motivation to persist in our already<br />

existent moral dispositions. In the second part, I show that the works of genius exhibit the Idea of the<br />

highest good and, consequently, strengthen our hope in its realization. Drawing on the results of the second<br />

part, the third part of the paper demonstrates that beauty, of both art and nature, symbolizes morality in a<br />

more substantive sense than that suggested by Henry Allison's “formalistic” interpretation. Since, on my<br />

view, fine art in Kant serves as a sensible representation of an undetermined conceptual content, or the Idea<br />

of the highest good, the fourth part of the paper addresses the vexed question of whether Kant's account of<br />

fine art already anticipates the cognitive role later attributed to it by the German Idealists.”<br />

33 “Kant’s Formula of Humanity famously forbids treating others merely as a means. It is unclear, however,<br />

what exactly treating someone merely as a means comes to. This essay argues against an interpretation of<br />

this idea advanced by Christine Korsgaard and Onora O’Neill. The essay then develops a new interpretation<br />

that suggests an important connection between the Formula of Humanity and Kant’s political philosophy:<br />

the content of many of our moral duties depends on the results of political philosophy and, indeed, on the<br />

results of actual political decision making.”
