Immanuel Kant's final publication in ethics was The Doctrine of
Virtue, Part II of the 1797 The Metaphysics of Morals. This text
presents Kant's normative ethical theory. This guide is meant to be
read alongside Kant's text, combining accessible explanations and
novel interpretations of this difficult text. It is the first book
in English devoted to The Doctrine of Virtue, one of Kant's most
significant works. Timmons divides the guide into five parts. Part
I reviews Kant's life, the history and significance of The Doctrine
of Virtue, and situates Kant's ethics within his general
metaphysical and epistemological views. Part II is devoted to the
General Introduction to The Metaphysics of Morals, which is
essential for understanding Kant's ethics. Part III and Part IV
turn to The Doctrine of Virtue itself, exploring Kant's defense of
a system of duties and corresponding virtues. Part V examines
Kant's conception of moral education, the practice of virtue, and
the conclusion to the book where Kant explains why the discipline
of ethics does not include religion as a doctrine of duties to God.
Timmons concludes the book highlighting key aspects of The Doctrine
of Virtue, situating Kant's ethical theory in relation to other
normative ethical theories. This guide is a vital resource for both
students and scholars interested in ethics and the history of
philosophy.
