Published in 1785, Immanuel Kant's Groundwork of the Metaphysics of
Morals ranks alongside Plato's Republic and Aristotle's Nicomachean
Ethics as one of the most profound and influential works in moral
philosophy ever written. In Kant's own words, its aim is to
identify and corroborate the supreme principle of morality, the
categorical imperative. He argues that human beings are ends in
themselves, never to be used by anyone merely as a means, and that
universal and unconditional obligations must be understood as an
expression of the human capacity for autonomy and self-governance.
As such, they are laws of freedom. This volume contains Mary
Gregor's acclaimed translation of the text into English, revised by
Jens Timmermann, and an accessible, updated introduction by
Christine Korsgaard.
