Immanuel Kant on Equal Rights - Dictionary of Arguments
Höffe I 312 Equal Rights/Kant/Höffe: Although Kant grants sovereignty to the united will of the people, not all citizens receive the right to vote and with it active citizenship. He rightly distinguishes between active and passive citizenship and grants only the latter to minors. But it is not convincing if he derives discrimination under public law, i.e., merely passive citizenship, from an economic position ("journeyman, servant, ") or gender ("woman"), i.e., from private law or even biological circumstances. HöffeVsKant: This is where Kant is subject to prejudices of his time. It would be correct to link active citizenship to legal capacity, i.e. accountability (...). >Citizenship, >Political elections, >Democracy, >Electoral systems, >Society._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
