Abstract
We introduce the notion of Kan injectivity in 2-categories and study its properties. For an adequate 2-category , we show that every set of morphisms induces a KZ-pseudomonad on whose 2-category of pseudoalgebras is the locally full sub-2-category of all objects (left) Kan injective with respect to and morphisms preserving Kan extensions. The main ingredient is the construction of a (pseudo)chain whose appropriate ``convergence" is ensured by a small object argument.
