Abstract
The requirement of freedom is a defining feature of any Kantian approach to morality. Many Kantian commentators and critics have attempted to characterize freedom, but fail to understand this idea in terms of either the narrow emptiness interpretation, which emphasizes logical consistency or the broad emptiness interpretation, which focuses on the destruction of humanity summarized in the impersonal and indifferent view or what is also labeled equal concern for all. In contrast, I argue that Kantian moral autonomy is not merely a matter of logical consistency or even a deconstruction of humanity by reason alone; it must be valued in a more specific non-formal sense.
