FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The Critique of Practical Reason is the second of Kants three Critiques, and his second work in moral theory after the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals. Its systematic account of the authority of moral principles grounded in human autonomy unfolds Kants considered views on morality and provides the keystone to his philosophical system. The essays in this volume shed light on the principal arguments of the second Critique and explore their relation to Kants critical philosophy as a whole. They examine the genesis of the Critique, Kants approach to the authority of the moral law given as a fact of reason, the metaphysics of free agency, the account of respect for morality as the moral motive, and questions raised by the primacy of practical reason and the idea of the postulates. Engaging and critical, this volume will be invaluable to advanced students and scholars of Kant and to moral theorists alike. Table of Contents Preface; Introduction Andrews Reath; 1.

Review "...This collection of essays is diverse and engaging. The essays are of wide theoretical interest and deftly address issues of interpretation along with broader normative issues arising from Kants Groundwork. Striking a nice balance of interpretive and normative concerns, each essay draws on a wide variety of sources, including not only Kant, but also his sympathetic commentators and his detractors. Those in either camp are well-advised to give these essays their attention." --Elizabeth Foreman, Saint Louis University, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews "...This volume represents a refreshing turn in the literature on Kant, is well informed by the relevant literature, whereas the arguments are coherently rendered and classified." --George Lazaroiu, PhD, Institute of Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences, New York, Contemporary Readings in Law and Social Justice Review Quote "...This volume represents a refreshing turn in the literature on Kant, is well informed by the relevant literature, whereas the arguments are coherently rendered and classified." --George Lzroiu, PhD, Institute of Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences, New York, Contemporary Readings in Law and Social Justice Promotional "Headline" The essays in this volume analyse the principal arguments of the Critique of Practical Reason and explore their relation to Kants philosophy.
