The Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals is Kant's central
contribution to moral philosophy, and has inspired controversy ever
since it was first published in 1785. Kant champions the insights
of 'common human understanding' against what he sees as the
dangerous perversions of ethical theory. Morality is revealed to be
a matter of human autonomy: Kant locates the source of the
'categorical imperative' within each and every human will. However,
he also portrays everyday morality in a way that many readers find
difficult to accept. The Groundwork is a short book, but its
argument is dense, intricate and at times treacherous. This
commentary explains Kant's arguments paragraph by paragraph, and
also contains an introduction, a synopsis of the argument, six
short interpretative essays on key topics of the Groundwork, and a
glossary of key terms. It will be an indispensable tool for anyone
wishing to study the Groundwork in detail.
