RT Article T1 Respect and Membership in the Moral Community JF Ethical theory and moral practice VO 10 IS 2 SP 113 OP 128 A1 Bagnoli, Carla LA English YR 2007 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1785694162 AB Some philosophers object that Kant’s respect cannot express mutual recognition because it is an attitude owed to persons in virtue of an abstract notion of autonomy and invite us to integrate the vocabulary of respect with other persons-concepts or to replace it with a social conception of recognition. This paper argues for a dialogical interpretation of respect as the key-mode of recognition of membership in the moral community. This interpretation highlights the relational and practical nature of respect, and accounts for its governing role over other persons-regarding concepts.
