Kant's ethical thought remains one of the most influential, yet
notoriously challenging, systems in the history of philosophy. This
volume provides a sympathetic but critical reconstruction of the
main strands of Kant's ethics, focusing on the most commonly read
of Kant's ethical works, the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of
Morals. Part I outlines Kant's arguments in defense of his
Categorical Imperative, as well as elaborating Kant's understanding
of dignity and human freedom. Part II addresses the most common
objections to Kant's ethics, including challenges to the Formula of
Universal Law; Kant's controversial ethical stances on suicide, sex
and marriage, and non-human animals; and the place of reason,
sentiment, and happiness in Kant's ethics. For scholars and
specialists alike, the volume offers a clear and accessible account
of what Kantian morality both offers us and asks of us.
