In this comprehensive assessment of Kant's metaethics, Frederick
Rauscher shows that Kant is a moral idealist rather than a moral
realist and argues that Kant's ethics does not require metaphysical
commitments that go beyond nature. Rauscher frames the argument in
the context of Kant's non-naturalistic philosophical method and the
character of practical reason as action-oriented. Reason operates
entirely within nature, and apparently non-natural claims - God,
free choice, and value - are shown to be heuristic and to reflect
reason's ordering of nature. The book shows how Kant hesitates
between a transcendental moral idealism with an empirical moral
realism and a complete moral idealism. Examining every aspect of
Kant's ethics, from the categorical imperative to freedom and
value, this volume argues that Kant's focus on human moral agency
explains morality as a part of nature. It will appeal to academic
researchers and advanced students of Kant, German idealism and
intellectual history.
