Description
Book SynopsisKim examines the fundamental tenets of Immanuel Kantâs theory of morality structural-methodological point of view to highlight the activities of reason vis-Ã-vis the blind forces of brute nature. The study provides new perspective on Kant's thought to benefit studies of epistemology, modern philosophy, moral theory and philosophy, and ethics.
Trade ReviewKant's Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals is his most popular and influential book, but one with many complexities. Halla Kim's clear and detailed discussion of Kant's ethics is especially valuable because of the way in which it clarifies the significant interrelations of the three sections of Kant's book. Highly recommended. -- Karl Ameriks, University of Notre Dame
