Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals

Kant’s Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals is one of the most widely read & influential works of moral philosophy. This Broadview edition combines a newly revised version of T. K. Abbott’s respected translation with material crucial for placing the Groundwork in the context of Kant’s broader moral thought. A varied selection of other ethical writings by Kant on subjects including our moral duties, fundamental principles of justice, the concept of happiness & the relation of morality to religion are included, along with important criticisms of Kant’s ethics by Fichte, Schiller, Hegel & Sidgwick.
