Vaccination, Autonomy, and 'Moral Recklessness'. Kant on Freedom

Abstract

the essay examines why Kant was conflicted about vaccination, on why vaccination can still be seen as a moral duty and on why a vaccination mandate is not (necessarily) consistent with our rightful, external freedom. It is an essay, not a scholarly paper.
