The Metaphysical Elements of Ethics

1 sayfa. 2x2 cm
Can Morality Be Grounded in Pure Reason? In The Metaphysical Elements of Ethics, Immanuel Kant further develops the moral philosophy he began in his earlier works, offering a more structured and systematic exploration of ethical duties. Here, Kant distinguishes between duties of right (Rechtslehre) and duties of virtue (Tugendlehre), laying the groundwork for a rigorous, rational account of human obligation. Far from mere abstract speculation, this concise yet powerful text delves into the nature of moral law, freedom, duty, and the good will—arguing that true morality arises not from inclination or emotion, but from adherence to universal principles discerned through reason. Essential for students of philosophy, ethics, and political theory, this work is a key companion to Kant’s broader moral system and a cornerstone in the history of deontological ethics.
