Synopsis "Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals (Translated by Thomas Kingsmill Abbott)"

The 18th century German philosopher Immanuel Kant is widely considered as one the most important figures in modern philosophy. His fundamental arguments with regard to the fields of metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, political philosophy, and aesthetics, have been highly influential and form the basis for much of contemporary thought upon the subjects with which he was concerned. Kant believed that there were fundamental concepts that structured human experience, and that reason principally should guide one's examination of these concepts. "Groundwork for the Metaphysic of Morals" is his classic exposition of moral philosophy. In this work Kant examines the core concepts of moral theory in an effort to lay bare the fundamental principles of morality. This highly influential work of philosophy is groundbreaking in its argument that righteousness is a function of the character of the principles upon which people act. Kant's ideas on morality are intriguing and exemplary of his deft at philosophical thought. "Groundwork for the Metaphysic of Morals" is a must read for all seeking a better understanding of the world and humanity's place in it, through philosophical inquiry. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) was a German philosopher and one of the most influential figures in modern philosophy. His thinking laid the foundations of transcendental idealism, focused on the relationship between experience and reason. Among his most important works is Critique of Pure Reason (1781), where he analyzes the limits of human knowledge. He also wrote Critique of Practical Reason (1788), focused on morality, and Critique of Judgment (1790), which addresses aesthetics and teleology.

Additionally, in Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals (1785), he presented his famous theory of the categorical imperative, the cornerstone of his ethics. His ideas on enlightenment, morality, and epistemology continue to influence philosophy and social sciences.
