ETINĖS VERTĖS ŠALTINIO PAIEŠKOS: I. KANTAS IR M. NUSSBAUM
SEARCHING FOR SOURCES OF ETHICAL VALUE: I. KANT AND M. NUSSBAUM

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses Martha Nussbaum’s conception of „human capabilities“ and compares with I. Kant’s ethical theory. Attitudes of these two thinkers are compared by analysing their concepts of the human, identifying the sites in the human being, which they treat as sources of ethical value. Both of them consider practical reason as such a source, although M. Nussbaum supplements and modifies the Kantian concept in an important way, by incorporating conditions of nature – additional „human capabilities“ – into the concept of the source of ethical value.
