Kants Moral Metaphysics: God, Freedom, and Immortality by Benjamin Bruxvoort Lip

Description: Kants Moral Metaphysics by Benjamin Bruxvoort Lipscomb, James Krueger Recent interpreters of Kants moral philosophy generally minimize the importance of Kants metaphysical beliefs. This volume re-evaluates these approaches, exploring Kantian positions on such topics as sin, the relation between God and ethics, the metaphysics of human freedom and the possibility of knowledge of God. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Morality has traditionally been understood to be tied to certain metaphysical beliefs: notably, in the freedom of human persons (to choose right or wrong courses of action), in a god (or gods) who serve(s) as judge(s) of moral character, and in an afterlife as the locus of a "final judgment" on individual behavior. Some scholars read the history of moral philosophy as a gradual disentangling of our moral commitments from such beliefs. Kant is often given an important place in their narratives, despite the fact that Kant himself asserts that some of such beliefs are necessary (necessary, at least, from the practical point of view). Many contemporary neo-Kantian moral philosophers have embraced these "disentangling" narratives or, at any rate, have minimized the connection of Kants practical philosophy with controversial metaphysical commitments even with Kants transcendental idealism. This volume re-evaluates those interpretations. It is arguably the first collection to systematically explore the metaphysical commitments central to Kants practical philosophy, and thus the connections between Kantian ethics, his philosophy of religion, and his epistemological claims concerning our knowledge of the supersensible.
