Although I quickly review Philip Rossi’s larger argument in The Ethical Commonwealth in History , my focus in this article is on the implications of Rossi’s work for our characterizations of justice and citizenship on a Kantian account. For in arguing that a wise reading of Kant’s political theory allows us better to grasp his overarching aims, Rossi provides convincing evidence for a pair of challenges to the currently popular interpretation of that theory. These address the relationship between Kant’s moral and political theories and the nature of the political task or project that Kantian citizens undertake. In challenging popular readings of these elements of Kant’s view, I suggest, Rossi supports an interpretation of Kantian political thought with particular resonance for our time.

道德基础、共享公民项目和罗西的康德

尽管我很快回顾了菲利普·罗西在《历史上的伦理联邦》中的更大论点，但我在这篇文章中的重点是罗西的工作对我们在康德式描述中对正义和公民身份的表征的影响。因为在论证对康德政治理论的明智阅读可以让我们更好地掌握他的总体目标时，罗西为对该理论当前流行的解释提出的两个挑战提供了令人信服的证据。这些论述了康德的道德和政治理论与康德公民所承担的政治任务或计划的性质之间的关系。我认为，在挑战对康德观点的这些要素的流行解读时，罗西支持对康德政治思想的解释，这对我们这个时代具有特别的共鸣。
