Is it possible for ethical thinking to be grounded in pure reason?
In this bold and innovative new work, Adrian Moore provides a
refreshing and challenging look at Kant's moral and religious
philosophy and uses it to arrive at a distinctive way of
understanding and answering this question. Noble in Reason,
Infinite in Faculty identifies three Kantain Themes - morality,
freedom and religion - and presents variations on each of these
themes in turn. Moore concedes that there are difficulties with the
Kantian view that morality can be governed by 'pure' reason, but
defends a closely related view involving a notion of reason as
socially and culturally conditioned. In the course of doing this,
Moore considers in detail ideas at the heart of Kant's thought,
such as the categorical imperative, free will, evil, hope, eternal
life, and God. He also makes creative use of ideas in contemporary
philosophy, both within the analytic tradition and outside it, such
as 'thick' ethical concepts, forms of life, and 'becoming those
that we are'. Throughout the book, a guiding precept is that to be
rational is to make sense, and that nothing is of greater value to
us than making sense. Noble in Reason, Infinite in Faculty is
essential reading for all those interested in Kant, ethics, and
philosophy of religion.
