Individualist normative theories appear inadequate for the complex moral challenges of climate change. In climate ethics, this is especially notable with the relative marginalization of Kant. I argue that Kant’s philosophy, understood through its historical and cosmopolitan dimensions, has untapped potential for the climate crisis. First, I situate Kant in climate ethics and evaluate his marginalization due to perceived individualism, interiority and anthropocentrism. Then, I explore aspects of Kant’s historical and cosmopolitan writings, which present a global, future-orientated picture of humanity. Ultimately, Kant’s philosophy offers a unique take on the climate deadlock capable of sustaining the individual in the collective.

在集体中维持个人:可持续世界的康德视角
个人主义规范理论似乎不足以应对气候变化带来的复杂道德挑战。在气候伦理学中,这在康德相对边缘化的情况下尤其明显。我认为康德的哲学,通过其历史和世界性维度来理解,具有未开发的气候危机潜力。首先,我将康德置于气候伦理中,并评估他因个人主义、内在性和人类中心主义而被边缘化。然后,我探索康德的历史和世界主义著作的各个方面,这些著作呈现了一幅全球性的、面向未来的人类图景。最终,康德的哲学对气候僵局提出了独特的看法,能够维持集体中的个人。
