Anne Margaret Baxley offers a systematic interpretation of Kant's
theory of virtue, whose most distinctive features have not been
properly understood. She explores the rich moral psychology in
Kant's later and less widely read works on ethics, and argues that
the key to understanding his account of virtue is the concept of
autocracy, a form of moral self-government in which reason rules
over sensibility. Although certain aspects of Kant's theory bear
comparison to more familiar Aristotelian claims about virtue,
Baxley contends that its most important aspects combine to produce
something different - a distinctively modern, egalitarian
conception of virtue which is an important and overlooked
alternative to the more traditional Greek views which have
dominated contemporary virtue ethics.
