Kant's Ethical Thought (Modern European Philosophy) (Volume 0)

Kant's Ethical Thought (Modern European Philosophy) (Volume 0) by Wood, Allen W.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780521648363.

This is a major new study of Kants ethics that will transform the way students and scholars approach the subject in the future. Allen Wood argues that Kants ethical vision is grounded in the idea of the dignity of the rational nature of every human being. He focuses for the first time on the central role played in Kants ethical theory by the value of rational nature as an end in itself. In addition, he shows the importance of Kants systematic theory of human nature and history, and its implications for the structure, formulation, and application of Kants moral principles.
