Opis

First published in 1990. The aim of this thesis is to show that the way to understand the central claims of Kant s ethics is to accept the idea that morality is a distinctive form of rationality; that the moral "ought" belongs to a system of imperatives based in practical reason; and that moral judgment, therefore, is a species of rational assessment of agents actions. It argues, in effect, that you cannot understand Kant s views about morality if you read him with Humean assumptions about rationality. This title will be of interest to students of philosophy. "
