In explicit form, Kant does not speak that much about values or
goods. The reason for this is obvious: the concepts of 'values' and
'goods' are part of the eudaimonistic tradition, and he famously
criticizes eudaimonism for its flawed 'material' approach to
ethics. But he uses, on several occasions, the traditional
teleological language of goods and values. Especially in the
Groundwork and the Critique of Practical Reason, Kant develops
crucial points on this conceptual basis. Furthermore, he implicitly
discusses issues of conditional and unconditional values,
subjective and objective values, aesthetic or economic values etc.
In recent Kant scholarship, there has been a controversy on the
question how moral and nonmoral values are related in Kant's
account of human dignity. This leads to the more fundamental
problem if Kant should be seen as a prescriptvist (antirealist) or
as subscribing to a more objective rational agency account of
goods. This issue and several further questions are addressed in
this volume.
