The acclaimed author of The Good Apprentice draws on the entire history of philosophy–and particularly on Plato and Kant–to formulate her own model of morality and demonstrate how thoroughly it is bound up with our daily lives. “An utterly absorbing book.”–The Wall Street Journal.

Product Description
The Foundations of the Metaphysics of Morals or Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, Immanuel Kant’s first contribution to moral philosophy, argues for an a priori basis for morality. Where the Critique of Pure Reason laid out Kant’s metaphysical and epistemological ideas, this relatively short, primarily meta-ethical, work was intended to outline and define the concepts and arguments shaping his future work The Metaphysics of Morals. However, the latter work is much less read than the Groundwork.

Product Description
The Metaphysics of Morals is Kant’s major work in applied moral philosophy in which he deals with the basic principles of rights and of virtues. It comprises two parts: the “Doctrine of Right,” which deals with the rights that people have or can acquire, and the “Doctrine of Virtue,” which deals with the virtues they ought to acquire. Mary Gregor’s translation, revised for publication in Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy, is the only complete translation of the whole text. It includes extensive annotation on Kant’s difficult and sometimes unfamiliar vocabulary. A new introduction by Roger Sullivan sets the work in its historical and philosophical context.
Kant: The Metaphysics of Morals

Product Description
Ancient Greek philosophy was divided into three sciences: physics, ethics, and logic. This division is perfectly suitable to the nature of the thing; and the only improvement that can be made in it is to add the principle on which it is based, so that we may both satisfy ourselves of its completeness, and also be able to determine correctly the necessary subdivisions

Product Description
This expanded edition of James Ellington’s preeminent translation of Grounding of the Metaphysics of Morals includes his new translation of Kant’s essay ‘On a Supposed Right to Lie Because of Philanthropic Concerns’, in which Kant replies to one of the standard objections to his moral theory as presented in the main text: that it requires us to tell the truth even in the face of harmful consequences.
