Immanuel Kant's "Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals" is one of the most important texts in the history of ethics. In it Kant searches for the supreme principle of morality and argues for a conception of the moral life that has made this work a continuing source of controversy and an object of reinterpretation for over two centuries. This new edition of Kant's work provides a translation that seeks to be faithful to the German original and is fully annotated. There are also four essays by well-known scholars that discuss Kant's views and the philosophical issues raised by his work. J.B. Schneewind defends the continuing interest in Kantian ethics by examining its historical relation both to the ethical thought that preceded it and to its influence on the ethical theories that came after it; Marcia Baron sheds light on Kant's famous views about moral motivation; and Shelly Kagan and Allen W. Wood advocate contrasting interpretations of Kantian ethics and its practical implications.

As expected, Kant's book is a difficult read to understand. Personally, I just can't come to agree with his views coming from a Christian background.

GREAT REFERENCE WORK. MANY MORE SUCH REFERENCE BOOKS SHOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE, AND UNIVERSITY POST GRADUATE STUDENTS.

Great Read

February 22, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

A bit dry at points, and all in all the language was complex, requiring some thought as to what the author is trying to say. Certainly an excellent read; Kant brings up some excellent points on what morality is, and should be.

This is a great book by an amazing philosopher; a must read if one seeks to know more about deontological ethics.

Not a translation for a layperson

July 24, 2009

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Professor Wood has produced (so he claims -I don't know German) an extremely literal (faithful) translation of the original. His intent in doing do is "to place the English reader, as far as possible, in the same interpretive position as the German reader of the original." Whatever you think of that philosophy, it results in an extremely difficult text that is of little use to the uninitiated, even for a motivated layperson like myself.

The accompanying essays were interesting, but ultimately not why I bought the book.

This gentleman is a great social scientist.

April 19, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I discovered an abundance of core educational value in studying Greek Philosophy through this book. From the first paragraph, let alone the first two pages, I focused on how being able to make decisions and create perspective is essential throughout real life and accurate task completion..This seems to be an advanced text which has more potency than The Prince, in terms of science and systematic ethical judgement at least.

Thoughtful

This work is essential to understanding the foundation upon which later great philosophers would build their great works. Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Wagner.

I recommend the Cambridge Edition

I just finished reading and comparing the introduction of this version of the text with the version published by Cambridge University Press.Read more
