在本文中，我勾勒出一个康德的帐户的救援义务，我认为这是符合康德的理论。我认为，事实上，不完美和完美的义务之间并没有“压倒性的关系”，而只是在某些情况下“自由度缩小”。反对可能的需求反对，我解释了为什么康德认为，不完美的责任必须允许选择的自由，并认为我们必须理解的必要空间，追求自己的幸福所必需的康德的理由一个人的责任，以促进其他人的幸福。然而，变得值得幸福总是优先于自己的幸福，即使在环境如此，我们无法确保自己的幸福，而不严重忽视其他人更迫切的需求。本文的结论是康德的道德理论需要政治和司法领域的补充。实施公正的政治制度和创造令人满意的良好秩序的社会，创造了一个外部世界，这个世界对我们调和道德完整和幸福人类生活的努力更友好。
In this paper, I sketch a Kantian account of duties of rescue, which I take to be compatible with Kant’s theory. I argue that there is in fact no “trumping relation” between imperfect and perfect duties but merely that “latitude shrinks away” in certain circumstances. Against possible demandingness objections, I explain why Kant thought that imperfect duty must allow latitude for choice and argue that we must understand the necessary space for pursuing one’s own happiness as entailed by Kant’s justification of one’s duty to promote other’s happiness. Nevertheless, becoming worthy of happiness has always priority over one’s own happiness, even when circumstances are such that we cannot secure our own happiness without seriously neglecting more pressing needs of other persons. I conclude that Kant’s moral theory calls for complementation by the political and juridical domain. Implementing just political institutions and creating satisfactorily well-ordered societies create an external world which is friendlier to our attempts to reconcile moral integrity and a happy human life.
