Publisher's Synopsis
Kant's Theory of Ethics: Or Practical Philosophy is a book written by the renowned philosopher Immanuel Kant, first published in 1873. The book is a comprehensive analysis of Kant's ethical theory, which is based on the idea that morality is grounded in reason and the principle of universalizability. Kant's theory is often referred to as deontological ethics, which means that it is concerned with the moral duty to act in a certain way, rather than the consequences of our actions. Kant believed that moral principles must be based on reason alone, and that they should be universally applicable to all rational beings. The book is divided into several sections, each exploring a different aspect of Kant's ethical theory. The first section provides an overview of Kant's philosophy, including his views on metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. The second section delves deeper into Kant's ethical theory, discussing concepts such as the categorical imperative, autonomy, and the moral law. The third section of the book focuses on the practical application of Kant's theory, exploring how it can be used to guide moral decision-making in various contexts. The final section of the book provides a critical analysis of Kant's theory, examining its strengths and weaknesses, and considering how it has been developed and adapted by other philosophers over time. Overall, Kant's Theory of Ethics: Or Practical Philosophy is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of one of the most important ethical theories in philosophy. It provides a clear and accessible introduction to Kant's ideas, while also offering a rigorous and nuanced analysis of his theory and its implications for moral philosophy.Comprising Fundamental Principles Of The Metaphysic Of Morals, Dialectic And Methodology Of Practical Reason, And On The Radical Evil In Human Nature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
