Kant makes and elaborates upon a distinction between active citizenship and passive citizenship. Active citizens enjoy the right to vote and rights of political participation generally. Passive citizens do not, though they still enjoy the protection of the law as citizens. Kant’s examples have left commentators puzzling over how these distinctions follow from his stated rationale or justification for active citizenship, namely, that active citizens possess a kind of political and economic self-sufficiency. This essay focuses on one subset passive citizenry – that of traveling blacksmiths, barbers, and day laborers in order to examine Kant’s distinctions. I argue that these examples show that Kant’s concerns regarding dependence are, at least in some cases, pragmatic rather than political.

康德游记铁匠和被动公民身份

康德对主动公民身份与被动公民身份之间的区别进行了详细阐述。活跃公民普遍享有投票权和政治参与权。被动公民却没有,尽管他们仍然享有作为公民的法律保护。康德的例子让评论员困惑于这些区别是如何从他所说的积极公民身份的理由或理由得出的,即,积极公民具有某种政治和经济上的自给自足。本文着眼于被动公民的一个子集,即旅行的铁匠,理发师和打工的公民,以研究康德的不同。我认为这些例子表明,康德对依赖的关注至少在某些情况下是务实的而不是政治的。
