Halla Kim explores the leading themes in Kant's philosophical
ethics from a structural-methodological point of view to highlight
the activities of reason vis-a-vis the blind forces of brute
nature. Basing the study on Kant's short, but monumental,
Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, Kim also draws on other
major writings by Kant and his critics. Kim shows that
philosophical ethics, as Kant conceived it, must capture the gist
of the ineluctable, inescapable, and irreducible freedom we strive
to exemplify in our practical lives. Viewed this way, the moral law
is none other than the law of the will determining itself. It is
the law of the self-activity of the will. Contending that the
concepts and doctrines in Kant's ethics should be understood as an
ethics of the self-activity of the will, Kim argues that the
categorical imperative is the particular way this moral law is
addressed to finite rational beings. Kant and the Foundations of
Morality provides new perspective on the philosopher's thought to
benefit studies of eighteenth-century philosophy, epistemology,
modern philosophy, moral theory, moral philosophy, and ethics.
