Morality is revealed to be a matter of autonomy. Today, this approach to ethical theory is as perplexing, controversial and inspiring as it was in 1785, when the Groundwork was first published. The essays in this volume, by international Kant scholars and moral philosophers, discuss Kant's philosophical development and his rejection of earlier moral theories, the role of happiness and inclination in the Groundwork, Kant's moral metaphysics and theory of value, and his attempt to justify the categorical imperative as a principle of freedom. They reflect the approach of several schools of interpretation and illustrate the lively diversity of Kantian ethics today.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 13mmItem Weight: 340gContributor: Jens Timmermann (Edited by)Author: Jens TimmermannGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Cambridge Critical GuidesRelease Year: 2013 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
