Abstract:

There has been much discussion concerning whether or not some of Sartre's views on morality may be understood as endorsing Kant's views. Perhaps the most controversial issue has been whether in various places in his corpus Sartre invokes Kant's “universalizability principle.” Indeed, Sartre's frequent use of Kantian language, including the idea of universalizability and “kingdom of ends,” strongly suggests that there is some appreciable convergence between his views and those of Kant. While it is true that Sartre borrows Kant's language and expressions, he does not, I argue, use them in the same sense as Kant does.

Keywords: MORALITY; SARTRE; KANT; FREEDOM; GENEROSITY; HUMANITY; CREATIVITY; UNIVERSALIZABILITY; “KINGDOM OF ENDS”
