The article was published in Kantian Review, Volume 19, Issue 01, March 2014, http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S1369415413000319According to the standard reading of Kant's formula of universal law (FUL), positive duties can be derived from FUL. In this article, I argue that the standard reading does not work. In the first section, I articulate FUL and what I mean by a positive duty. In the second section, I set out an intuitive version of the standard reading of FUL and argue that it does not work. In the third section, I set out a more rigorous version of the standard reading of FUL and argue that even this more rigorous version does not work.en-USKantUniversal LawPositive DutiesCan Positive Duties be Derived from Kant's Formula of Universal LawArticle
