SO- AC- Kant v2Tournament: Grapevine Classic | Round: 3 | Opponent: Presentation NR | Judge: Grant Brown Ethics must be derived a priori1~ Uncertainty – experiences are locked within our own subjectivity and are inaccessible to others, however a priori principles are created in the noumenal world and are universally applied to all agents. Outweighs since founding ethics in the phenomenal world allows people to justify atrocities by saying they don’t experience the same.2~ Is/Ought Gap – experience in the phenomenal world only tells us what is since we can only perceive what is, not what ought to be. But it’s impossible to derive an ought from descriptive premises, so there needs to be additional a priori premises within the noumenal world to make a moral theory.Practical reason is inescapable - Any moral rule faces the problem of regress – I can keep asking "why should I follow this." Regress collapses to skep since no one can generate obligations absent grounds for accepting them. Only reason solves since asking "why reason?" requires reason to do in the first place which concedes its authority.
Practical reason means we must be able to universally will maxims—our judgements are authoritative and can’t only apply to ourselves any more than 2+24 can be true only for me. The only constraint is noncontradiction.==== 1~ The existence of extrinsic goodness requires unconditional human worth—that means we must treat others as ends in themselves.Korsgaard ’83 (Christine M., "Two Distinctions in Goodness," The Philosophical Review Vol. 92, No. 2 (Apr., 1983), pp. 169-195, JSTOR) OS/Recut Lex AKu *brackets for gendered language AND -and, in general, to make the highest good our end. 2~ Other frameworks collapse—they contain conditional obligations which derive their authority from the categorical imperative.Korsgaard 98 ~CHRISTINE M. KORSGAARD, greatest philosopher alive, 1998, "Introduction", Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals~ AG Recut Lex AKu AND act on those principles, principles which are themselves laws. Kant continues: 4~ Performativity—freedom is the key to the process of justification of arguments. Willing that we should abide by their ethical theory presupposes that we own ourselves in the first place. Thus, it is logically incoherent to justify the aff standard without first willing that we can pursue ends free from others.5~ Kantian ethics solve oppression-Contrary to Kant’s own beliefsFarr ’02 AND of African descent was deplorable, it would be equally deplorable to reject the Ideal theory – Ideal theory is in no way incompatible with a radical agenda—broad principles can inspire broad sweeping change and allow previously-excluded groups to claim political agency. Ideal theory can make changes to the nonideal worldHolmstrom ~Holmstrom, Nancy ~Prof. Emeritus @ Rutgers~. "Response to Charles Mills's." Radical Philosophy Review 15.2 (2012): 325-330.~ ~recut by Lex CH~ AND socialists of all kinds helped to build the labor and civil rights movements.
