More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The Critique of Practical Reason is the second of Kant's three Critiques, one of his three major treatises on moral theory, and a seminal text in the history of moral philosophy. Originally published three years after his Groundwork to the Metaphysics of Morals, the Critique provides further elaboration of the basic themes of Kant's moral theory, gives the most complete statement of his highly original theory of freedom of the will, and develops his practical metaphysics. This new edition of Kant's Critique of Practical Reason – prepared by an acclaimed translator and scholar of Kant's practical philosophy – presents the first new translation of this work to appear for some years. A substantial and lucid introduction by Andrews Reath places the main themes of the Critique in the context of Kant's moral theory and his critical system.

24 July 2007
Format:Paperback
Missing the editorial notes from the Practical Philosophy volume of the Cambridge Edition of the Works of Immanuel Kant, despite the fact that the numbers of the notes are retained in the text! This seems like a silly, wholly unnecessary oversight, since the editorial notes for the Critique of Practical Reason run to all of three pages!

A Formula for Modern Ethics
29 Mar 2004
Format:Hardcover
Kant's insistence on using a general maxim in formulating the categorical imperative is its Achilles heel. A more specific maxim, one that takes into account the universal properties of the matter at hand, enables us to avoid all of the problems associated with never lying (e.g., to save Jews from Nazis) or killing (e.g., just war).
