Unknown Author

4.9/5 (32605 ratings)

Description:Kant's Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals ranks with Plato's Republic & Aristotle's Ethics as one of the most important works of moral philosophy ever written. Kant argues that a human action is only morally good if it is done from a sense of duty, & that a duty is a formal principle based not on self-interest or from a consideration of what results might follow. From this he derived his famously controversial maxim, the categorical imperative: "Act as if the maxim of your action were to become by your will a universal law of nature." H. J. Paton's translation remains the standard in English for this work. It retains all of Kant's liveliness of mind, suppressed intellectual excitement, moral earnestness & pleasure in words. The commentary & detailed analysis Paton provides is an invaluable guide for the student & general reader.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
