Immanuel Kant Kant: Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals Hardcover Book

Immanuel Kants Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals ranks alongside Platos Republic and Aristotles Nicomachean Ethics as one of the most profound and influential works in moral philosophy ever written. In Kants own words, its aim is to identify and corroborate the supreme principle of morality, the categorical imperative. He argues that human beings are ends in themselves, never to be used by anyone merely as a means, and that universal and unconditional obligations must be understood as an expression of the human capacity for autonomy and selfgovernance. As such, they are laws of freedom. | Immanuel Kant Kant: Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals Hardcover Book
