Kant: Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals by Immanuel Kant (PDF)

Description

Kant’s Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals is one of the most important works in modern moral philosophy. It belongs beside Plato, Aristotle, Machiavelli, and Hobbes. Here Kant sets out to articulate and defend the Categorical Imperative – the fundamental principle that underlies moral reasoning – and to lay the foundation for a comprehensive account of justice and human virtues.

⭐Thank you Kant, Very based!

⭐Dear fellow readers. I very much enjoyed reading Kant’s Groundwork.- a good way to prepare yourself for his other extensive works.John BarnesBangkok Thailand

⭐Came nicely packaged, no bends or tears.

⭐I just finished reading and comparing the introduction of this version of the text with the version published by Cambridge University Press. In the latter edition, I found the introduction to be less in the way of circumlocution, yet exceedingly lucid and pithy. Dr. Korsgaard is a pre-eminent scholar in Kantian Ethics, and her introduction alone is what renders the Cambridge edition worthy. The Oxford introduction, while insightful and generally helpful for the layperson, all to often digressed into different interpretations, none of which were too heavily detailed in their illustration. The Cambridge version is concise, as it contains all the information that is needed. It provided a clear map as to how different parts of Kant’s conception connected , and thus engendered a synchronic understanding of the overall text.

⭐A bit dry at points, and all in all the language was complex, requiring some thought as to what the author is trying to say. Certainly an excellent read; Kant brings up some excellent points on what morality is, and should be.

⭐This is a great book by an amazing philosopher; a must read if one seeks to know more about deontological ethics.

⭐This work is essential to understanding the foundation upon which later great philosophers would build their great works. Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Wagner.

⭐GOOD

⭐Fourteen pages in and there have been at least three typos already – critical when you’re reading such a dense, complicated piece of philosophy. I’ve had to compare it with an online PDF version to check that what I’m reading makes sense. The translation is also much less readable compared to the online version I’m using.You get what you pay for, of course, and for the price I guess it’s okay if you’re willing to correct errors as you go along. I regret not buying a more expensive, better-known version, though.

⭐pretty hard to review one of the most influential works of philosophy, wouldn’t say I like it, its incredibly hard work but obviously useful
