Kant and the Idea of Intrinsic Value by A. Seth Pringle-Pattison is a philosophical work that explores the concept of intrinsic value as developed by the German philosopher Immanuel Kant. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of Kant's theory of intrinsic value, which is the idea that certain things have value in and of themselves, independent of any external factors or consequences. Pringle-Pattison examines Kant's views on the nature of intrinsic value and its relation to moral and ethical principles. He also discusses the implications of Kant's theory for contemporary debates in ethics, such as the role of reason in moral decision-making and the nature of moral obligation. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Kant's theory of intrinsic value. Pringle-Pattison provides a clear and accessible overview of Kant's ideas, making the book suitable for both students and scholars of philosophy. Overall, Kant and the Idea of Intrinsic Value is a valuable contribution to the study of Kantian philosophy and the concept of intrinsic value in ethics. It offers a nuanced and insightful analysis of Kant's ideas, and will be of interest to anyone interested in moral philosophy, ethics, and the history of philosophy.THIS 30 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Idea of God in the Light of Recent Philosophy, by A.
