“…They are rather raised to inculcate a strict and rigorous understanding of perfect duties. Kim (2009) focuses on the DV but without distinguishing between casuistry and casuistical questions. Except for a comment on the questions on suicide, there is no deeper discussion of the casuistical questions.…”

“…A general memento concerning the limits of one's financial abilities is not a solution to a hard moral case. Kim makes a related observation: Kant's casuistry is not meant to find exceptions to a rule in hard cases but to guide agents in the exercise of imperfect duties of love and (possibly) respect (Kim, 2009, p. 338). It should be noted, however, that Kant's limitation of personal financial risk is not telling agents how to allocate help.…”

Kant, casuistry and casuistical questions

Interest in the role of casuistry and casuistical questions in Kant's Doctrine of Virtue (DV), i.e. the second part of the Metaphysics of Morals, has grown in recent years. My own position is formulated in Schuessler (2012, in German), the main thesis of which will be retained here in an updated form and with some shifts of emphasis. I hold that the casuistical questions concerning perfect duties in the DV are not intended to represent casuistry in Kant's sense. Casuistry and casuistical questions are neither equivalent in the DV nor do they serve the same purposes.

My own position is formulated in Schuessler (2012, in German), the main thesis of which will be retained here in an updated form and with some shifts of emphasis. I hold that the casuistical questions concerning perfect duties in the DV are not intended to represent casuistry in Kant's sense. Casuistry and casuistical questions are neither equivalent in the DV nor do they serve the same purposes. In Kant's view, casuistry is an art of finding submaxims for the exercise of imperfect duties. This excludes the use of casuistry in the domain of perfect duties (whether legal or ethical), and indeed, if properly understood, Kant does not use it in this context. He, of course, asks casuistical questions with respect to perfect duties, but casuistical questions can be answered without casuistry. For Kant, casuistical questions are mainly didactical classroom exercises to test whether pupils have acquired sufficient knowledge of ethics. In this regard, the questions concerning perfect ethical duties are meant to elicit the response that such duties do not allow for exceptions even in apparently hard cases.The first section deals with Kant's remarks about casuistry and casuistical questions in the DV. The next section discusses the research literature on the subject. The following section addresses the casuistical questions on perfect duties to oneself. The penultimate section turns to the casuistical questions on imperfect duties of love.

No fue sino hasta la MC 17 que Kant hizo referencia a la posibilidad de complicaciones de índole práctico en su teoría (un ejemplo claro son las 'Cuestiones casuísticas', en la doctrina de la virtud, donde Kant plantea casos hipotéticos en los cuales se presentan obligaciones morales aparentemente incompatibles).…”

Una aproximación casuística a la cuestión de la aplicación del derecho injusto en la filosofía moral kantiana 1 A casuistic approach to the question of the application of the unjust law in Kantian moral philosophy Uma aproximação casuística à questão da aplicação do direito injusto na filosofia moral kantianaArtículo de reflexión: recibido 18/09/2013 y aprobado 08/10/2013 1 Este texto es producto del proyecto de investigación "Democracia y poder judicial en Colombia: un estudio desde el estado social de derecho y los centros de poder", financiado por la Universidad de Medellín, el cual está siendo ejecutado dentro del Grupo de Investigaciones Jurídicas registrado en Colciencias en categoría A1. En este escrito Kant es citado conforme a la edición de la Academia berlinesa, con el número del tomo seguido por el número de página. Para el caso de la Crítica de la razón pura [CRP] se enuncian los números de la página de la primera [A] Resumen El presente texto aborda el tema de la aplicación del derecho injusto a partir de un caso problemático para la filosofía práctica kantiana, como es la obligación de un agente de ejecutar una orden válida, que considera injusta y contraria a la moral, cuyas consecuencias son eminentemente perjudiciales para la humanidad de los demás. En este sentido, se investiga la conducta posible en la cual el agente, ante las circunstancias planteadas, puede desenvolverse de forma moral y discrecional según preceptos kantianos, identificando y explicando los diferentes mandatos que le impone el imperativo categórico y la forma cómo ha de afrontar un eventual conflicto entre deberes éticos y jurídicos.Palabras clave: Imperativo categórico kantiano, Immauel Kant, Derecho, Ética, Filosofía Práctica, conflictos morales. SummaryThis paper deals with the issue of the application of unjust law from a problematic case for Kantian practical philosophy, as it is the duty of an agent to execute a valid order, which considers unjust and against morality, whose consequences are eminently prejudicial to the humanity of others. In this sense, it will investigate about the possible conduct in which the agent, under the circumstances raised, can perform in a moral and discretionary way according to Kantian precepts, identifying and explaining the different mandates imposed by the categorical imperative and how the agent would face an eventual conflict between ethical and legal duties.Key Words: Kant's categorical imperative, Immanuel Kant, Law, Ethics, Practical Philosophy, moral conflicts.
