Duties to oneself

Oliver Sensen

pp. 285-306

Sensen analyzes Kant's justification of duties to oneself. Why does Kant say that duties to oneself have priority over other duties? Sensen concludes that there is a common idea behind the different formulas of the categorical imperative: the idea that our human capacities have a high importance. Kant's ethics needs anthropology to derive concrete duties from this general idea.
