Description: Understanding Kant's Groundwork by Steven M. Cahn, Nataliya Palatnik, Anne Margaret Baxley, Laura Papish, Tamar Schapiro, Kyla Ebels-Duggan, Japa Pallikkathayil, Lucy Allais Immanuel Kants Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals is widely regarded as one of the most influential works in the history of moral philosophy. Indeed, any student of ethics will soon encounter a translation of the book, although trying to read it is likely to cause bewilderment. What, one may ask, is Kant trying to say? This book provides the answers. Here, seven highly regarded teachers and scholars of Kants ethics offer remarkably clear explanations of the most important concepts in the Groundwork: the good will, happiness, duty, hypothetical and categorical imperatives, the Formula of Universal Law, the Formula of Humanity, and freedom.Contents: Preface The Good Will, Nataliya Palatnik Happiness, Anne Margaret Baxley Duty, Laura Papish Imperatives, Tamar Schapiro The Formula of Universal Law, Kyla Ebels-Duggan The Formula of Humanity, Japa Pallikkathayil Freedom, Lucy Allais About the Contributors IndexThis is the rare guide to Kants Groundwork suitable even for students new to philosophy.
