A new approach to Kant's conception of virtue which grounds it in his innovative account of reflection and cognitive agency.

Recenzje

'Merritt's book is a very thoughtful and original treatment of foundational interpretive and philosophical problems. I have found studying Kant on Reflection and Virtue very rewarding, and I am certain that any readers interested in Kant or in Kantian ethics and epistemology will take a lot away from it.' Ethics
