... with an innate “depravity” or “perversity of the heart.” Such depravity is a feature of the “radical evil in human nature” through which we come to heed the claims of self-love over those of morality.1 Although Kant (R 6:22n, 35, 37) denies that human beings could ever intend evil purely for its own sake, he...

.... A will not be affirming what B denies, nor vice versa. And subjectivism is not simply problematic in its own right.
