2011 Reprint of 1949 Edition. Full facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Also
known as "The Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals." This is
Kant's first contribution to moral philosophy. It argues for an a
priori basis for morality. Where the "Critique of Pure Reason" laid
out Kant's metaphysical and epistemological ideas, this relatively
short, primarily meta-ethical, work was intended to outline and
define the concepts and arguments shaping his future work, "The
Metaphysics of Morals." The treatise is broken into a preface,
followed by three sections. Kant's argument works from common
reason up to the supreme unconditional law, in order to identify
its existence. He then works backwards from there to prove the
relevance and weight of the moral law. The third and final section
of the book is famously obscure, and it is partly because of this
that Kant later, in 1788, decided to publish the Critique of
Practical Reason.
