 According to one interpretation of Kant, the promisee cannot share the promisor’s end in that it is logically impossible for him to do so (Hill 2002: 69–70). Suppose the promisor, a borrower, has the end of getting money from the promisee, a lender, without ever paying it back. At the time he makes a loan on the basis of this promise, the lender cannot himself share the end of the borrower’s getting the money from him without ever paying it back, goes this reading. If the lender shared the borrower’s end, then he would not really be making a loan. For according to our practice, it belongs to the very concept of making a loan, as opposed, say, to giving money away, that one believe that what one disburses will be repaid.
