Kant, Emotion and Autism: Towards an Inclusive Approach to Character Education
Ethics and Education, v14 n1 p1-14 2019
Modern Kantians often address the conception of Kant as 'cold hearted rationalist' by arguing that there is a place, in Kantian moral theory, for the emotions. This theme of reconciling Kantianism with the emotions is concurrent with a recent interest, on the part of some Kantians, in issues pertaining to character education. This paper will argue that Kantianism has much to offer character education; in particular, inclusiveness of those who might have difficulty experiencing appropriate moral emotion. Nevertheless, I will argue that this inclusivity can only be maintained if Kantians refrain from over-emotionalising their accounts.
