Publisher's Synopsis
Kant's Critique of Practical Reason and Other Works on the Theory of Ethics is a collection of philosophical writings by Immanuel Kant, one of the most influential thinkers in the history of Western philosophy. The book includes Kant's seminal work, the Critique of Practical Reason, which examines the foundations of moral philosophy and argues for the existence of a categorical imperative that guides ethical decision-making.In addition to the Critique of Practical Reason, the book also includes several other important works on ethics, including the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals and the Metaphysics of Morals. These works explore Kant's ideas about the nature of morality, the relationship between reason and morality, and the role of duty in ethical decision-making.Throughout the book, Kant develops his concept of the categorical imperative, which he argues is the ultimate basis for moral law. He also explores the idea of autonomy, or the ability of individuals to make moral decisions based on their own rational judgment, free from external influences.Kant's Critique of Practical Reason and Other Works on the Theory of Ethics is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of philosophy, ethics, or moral theory. It is a challenging but rewarding work that continues to influence contemporary debates about the nature of morality and the role of reason in ethical decision-making.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
