Kant's Metaphysics of Morals Summary

Kant's Metaphysics of Morals: A Critical Guide by Lara Denis (Agnes Scott College, Decatur)

Immanuel Kant's Metaphysics of Morals (1797), containing the Doctrine of Right and Doctrine of Virtue, is his final major work of practical philosophy. Its focus is not rational beings in general but human beings in particular, and it presupposes and deepens Kant's earlier accounts of morality, freedom and moral psychology. In this volume of newly-commissioned essays, a distinguished team of contributors explores the Metaphysics of Morals in relation to Kant's earlier works, as well as examining themes which emerge from the text itself. Topics include the relation between right and virtue, property, punishment, and moral feeling. Their diversity of questions, perspectives and approaches will provide new insights into the work for scholars in Kant's moral and political theory.

Kant's Metaphysics of Morals Reviews

'Denis has assembled an outstanding collection of essays that are dedicated to critically exploring Kant's Metaphysics of Morals. This is an invaluable guide for reading a crucial text within the Kantian corpus.' Chris McTavish, Philosophy in Review
'The book attempts to bridge the gap between German and English-language scholarship. Flikschuh, Wood, and Byrd in particular incorporate German secondary literature.' Georg Cavallar, The European Legacy
