Abstract

VARGAS, Gabriel Eduardo  and  ARANGO, Pablo R.. Crelier: on Kant and moral dilemmas. Prax. filos. [online]. 2013, n.36, pp.251-261. ISSN 0120-4688.

The article raises questions about the interpretation that Crelier makes of the Kantian ethics regarding conflicts of duties or moral dilemmas. We argue that, despite Crelier's conflicting statements, he fails to articulate an interpretation of Kant's ethics in which moral dilemmas are admissible. In Crelier's interpretation, we contend, the dilemmas that are eligible are only apparent or epistemic. But there is no room for those dilemmas in which none of the duties is objectively superior to another duty in conflict

Keywords : moral dilemmas; Kant; Crelier.
