Kant's Ethics of Virtue (Hardcover)

In his Metaphysics of Morals (particularly in the Doctrine of
Virtue), but also in other late works, Kant extends and refines the
content of his earlier works on ethics (Groundwork and Critique of
Practical Reason) to a considerable extent. These revisions and
extensions not only show the limitations of an exclusive
interpretation of Kant's ethics as a deontological ethics of
principles. His thoughts are also relevant for a large number of
questions of theoretical morality currently under discussion. Thus,
the distinction drawn in the Doctrine of Virtue between perfect and
imperfect obligations informs the problem of the solvability of
moral conflicts and the role of supererogatory actions. Kant goes
further into the question of what it means to be a good person,
what moral significance is contained in close human ties such as
friendship, and what role is played by happiness and the so-called
obligations towards oneself. The papers each discuss Kant's central
ideas in the context of his earlier writings, but also within the
context of our contemporary ethical debates. Thus attention is
drawn to the significance and possible extent of an ethics of
virtue understood in the Kantian sense.
