Sažetak
The general sketch of a mutually enriching relationship between the philosophy of Immanuel Kant and the contemporary bioethical debate is given at first. While there is a methodological aspect of the relationship between Kant’s thought and bioethics, the central part of the lecture will focus on the relation between Kant’s thought and the content of bioethics. Kant’s ethical account makes substantial contributions to the discussion of moral responsibility in the human community, but his thoughts about the human relationship toward nonhuman beings and environment are widely neglected among Kantian scholars. Kant’s views concerning animals are extremely important for bioethics, which postulates the extension of moral responsibility to other living beings, to the conditions of their preservation and the environment as a whole. The discussion is finally extended to the problem of responsibility to the environment as a whole. It is shown that there are strong footholds in Kantian thought for grounding responsibility to not only all living beings, but also to the environment as a whole. It is argued that such interpretation is completely coherent with Kant’s basic ethical account (concerning humans).
