The Concept of Duty in Kantianism and Confucianism

Abstract

This thesis is a comparative study into the concept of duty in Gewirthian Kantianism and Pre-Qin Confucianism. It aims to bring out some similarities between the two traditions that are often overlooked and which are a) important, and b) give rise to specific questions that are in need of further exploration from the broader framework of the conceptual question of human dignity as the foundation of human rights (as endorsed in the UDHR)
