Description
Kant's Metaphysics of Morals is a foundational work in moral philosophy, presenting the core concepts and principles of right and virtue. The book is divided into two parts: the Doctrine of Right, which explores outer freedom and the rights of individuals against one another, and the Doctrine of Virtue, which examines inner freedom and the ethical duties of human beings towards themselves and others. This edition features Mary Gregor's translation, lightly revised for this edition, as well as extensive annotation on Kant's complex vocabulary. Lara Denis's introduction provides context, explains the work's structure and themes, and introduces important interpretive debates. The volume also offers guidance on further reading, including online resources.
