Abstract

Henry Allison's "Incorporation Thesis" has played an important role in recent discussions of Kantian ethics. By focussing on Kant's claim that "a drive [Triebfeder] can determine the will to an action only so far as the individual has incorporated it into his maxim," (Rel 19, translation slightly modified) Allison has successfully argued against Kant's critics that desire-based non-moral action can be free action. His work has thus opened the door for a wide range of discussions which integrate feeling into moral action more deeply than had previously been considered "Kantian". © Walter de Gruyter 2001.
