Morality has traditionally been understood to be tied to certain
metaphysical beliefs: notably, in the freedom of human persons (to
choose right or wrong courses of action), in a god (or gods) who
serve(s) as judge(s) of moral character, and in an afterlife as the
locus of a "final judgment" on individual behavior. Some scholars
read the history of moral philosophy as a gradual disentangling of
our moral commitments from such beliefs. Kant is often given an
important place in their narratives, despite the fact that Kant
himself asserts that some of such beliefs are necessary (necessary,
at least, from the practical point of view). Many contemporary
neo-Kantian moral philosophers have embraced these "disentangling"
narratives or, at any rate, have minimized the connection of Kant's
practical philosophy with controversial metaphysical commitments -
even with Kant's transcendental idealism. This volume re-evaluates
those interpretations. It is arguably the first collection to
systematically explore the metaphysical commitments central to
Kant's practical philosophy, and thus the connections between
Kantian ethics, his philosophy of religion, and his epistemological
claims concerning our knowledge of the supersensible.
