The Practice of Moral Judgment di Barbara Herman
According to this deliberative-field model, the practical self does not have as its major task negotiating a settlement among independent competing claims. Insofar as one has interests and commitments, one is a human self. But a human life is not the result of a "bundle" of competing interests (among which is an interest in morality). One's interests are present on a deliberative field that contains everything that gives one reasons. Thus, in addition to interests and attachments, there are also grounds of obligation, principles of prudential rationality, and, depending on the individual, a more or less complex conception of the Good. Not everything that may seek a place on my deliberative field is good for me to have there: bad habits, destructive relationships, incompatible goals and projects. And if there is a real question about what enters (or remains on) the deliberative field—this is often a question about ends—the conditions for accepting desires or interests as ends may (and often will) shape the result.

The Practice of Moral Judgment is the most compelling interpretation of Kant that I've read so far. Whether it is faithful to Kant is somewhat hard to say. I'm inclined to read him in the way Herman does, but Kant does himself no favors in many of his looser moments. As such, one could say that Herman is reading Kant with rose-colored glasses. But this is not a criticism—if Kant didn't mean what Herman took him to be saying, I think it's the way he should have meant it.… (altro)
