Abstract
In this contribution we will discuss the demandingness objection with regard to Kant?s ethics. While in the literature there has been an emphasis on this issue with regard to imperfect duties, our main goal is to show Kantian ethics has resources to resort to in the case of the demandingness objection with regard to both perfect and imperfect duties. We consider different possible components of a moral theory which can lead to demandingness introduced by Scheffler. While we concur with Kantian critics that the stringent content of Kantian ethics may be a source of demandingness, we show that Kantian ethics has resources to respond to over demandingness objection arisen from other components. For this purpose we discuss Kant?s notion of ?Vorsatz? (intention), accompanied by the device of Flouting, introduced by Grice in his Conversational Implicatures.
