This book presents a comprehensive analysis of Kant's justification
of the categorical imperative. The book contests the standard
interpretation of Kant's views by arguing that he never abandoned
his view about this as expressed in his Groundwork. It is
distinctive in the way in which it places Kant's argument in the
context of his transcendental philosophy as a whole, which is
essential to understand it as an argument from within human
agential self-understanding. The book reviews that existing
literature, then presents a logical construction of Kant's
argument, which it defends by examining what Kant has to say about
synthetic a priori practical propositions in the context of his
transcendental philosophy as a whole, and by a detailed examination
of how he presents his argument in the Second Critique and the
Groundwork. Particular attention is given to the views of two
scholars who share many of the views expressed in this book: Klaus
Steigleder and Michael Wolff. Special attention is also given to
the views of Owen Ware, who, while sharing many of our arguments
has a very different overall view. The concluding chapter provides
a statement about the validity of Kant's argument.
