Thatâs interesting and I think thatâs true to a certain extent, the bottomless pits of suffering and all that. Though Kantianism does make some pretty strong demands in its own way, for instance in the way that it really hammers home the idea of seeing things from othersâ points of view (via the Formula of Humanity), or in the way that it considers some duties to be absolute (âperfectâ).
I believe that Korsgaard also thinks we have duties to help othersâ promote their own good if itâs at no great cost to ourselves, though these duties are not as strong as those not to violate other peopleâs autonomy. I think maybe these sorts of duties lead to something like Effective Altruism, though I havenât really thought all of this through yet, or read much of the relevant literature, so what do I know.
