The Moral Law: Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals

Few books have had as great an impact on intellectual history as Kant’s Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals. In its short compass one of the greatest minds in the history of philosophy attempts to identify the fundamental principle morality governing human action. In strikingly fresh, engaging & idiosyncratic prose he carries his readers with him as he seeks ‘the supreme principle of morality’. Supported by a clear introduction & detailed summary of the argument, this is not only an essential text for students but also the perfect introduction for any reader who wishes to encounter at first hand the mind of one of the finest & most influential thinkers of all time.
