Sumario:My paper addresses Kant’s account of labor from the standpoint of modern social philosophy as an often disregarded or ignored flipside of his republicanism. First, I broach the central role that work plays in Kant’s anthropological writings, stressing its Eurocentric traits. Second, I explore Kant’s theory of labor relations, focusing on the effects that labor dependence and independence have on his account of citizenship. Finally, I draw some conclusions bearing on the role that labor plays for meeting the goals of the Kantian republicanism.
