The idea of Kantian ethics is both simple and revolutionary: it proposes a moral law that is free from any preconceived values and free from any human inclinations such as love, sympathy, or fear. Many interpreters of Kant have overlooked the paradoxes and unattainable demands of his moral philosophy in their attempts to relate his texts to contemporary issues. Alenka Zupani attempts the exact opposite: she assumes that the philosophical and simultaneously subversive potential of Kant's philosophy for current questions lies precisely in its lack of relevance. Through the lens of Jacques Lacan's concept of the Real, Kant's moral philosophy undergoes an exciting and innovative reinterpretation.
