Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals
Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals | Immanuel Kant
2 posts | 8 read | 1 to read
Kants Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals, first published in 1785, is still one of the most widely read and influential works of moral philosophy. This Broadview edition combines a newly revised version of T.K. Abbotts respected translation with material crucial for placing the Groundwork in the context of Kants broader moral thought. A varied selection of other ethical writings by Kant on subjects including our moral duties, fundamental principles of justice, the concept of happiness, and the relation of morality to religion are included, along with important criticisms of Kants ethics by Fichte, Schiller, Hegel, and Sidgwick.

Just a little light reading on Kant‘s categorical imperative, thinking about moral theory, as I spend my time waiting... (“hold my bag” is a skill that I have)

Act only according to that maxim whereby you can, at the same time, will that it should become a universal law.

Ok, so not the maxim I live by, but worth contemplating as I wait for my girl to get her nails done (and terrible country music plays in the background).

brandybear22 @kgriffith good call, but actually I‘m just gearing myself up for both of my courses entering a unit on ethics this coming week 6y
kgriffith @brandybear22 yeah, your similarity to Chidi became questionable when the length of his book came up. Though Michael‘s ability to hang with academic writing is more suspect than Chidi‘s skill as an editor... 6y
