康德哲学中的尊严与价值

Dignity and Value in Kant's Philosophy

尊严与价值的关系是康德哲学中最为扑簌迷离的问题。通过对康德哲学中内在价值和绝对价值概念的分析,我们主张,绝对价值和内在价值是对尊严之价值属性的描述,而非定义。有些康德主义者们认为,康德将尊严定义为价值,并进一步将其视为尊重人这一道德命令的根据。事实上,这一观点与康德哲学的思想存在分歧,因为在康德哲学中,价值概念不可能成为道德命令的根据。

The relationship between dignity and value is the most troublesome one in Kant＇s philosophy.Through the analy-sis of the concept of intrinsic value and absolute value,we regard the concept of intrinsic value and absolute value as the de-scription of attributes of dignity,instead of definition.Some Kantianists insist that Kant defines dignity as value which consists of the ground of categorical imperative.In fact,the argument is in conflict with Kant’s principle,because in Kant’s philoso-phy,the concept of value can not be the basis of moral imperative.
