Informationen zum Autor Immanuel Kant war ein deutscher Philosoph der Aufklärung. Kant zählt zu den bedeutendsten Vertretern der abendländischen Philosophie. Sein Werk Kritik der reinen Vernunft kennzeichnet einen Wendepunkt in der Philosophiegeschichte und den Beginn der modernen Philosophie. Kant schuf eine neue, umfassende Perspektive in der Philosophie, welche die Diskussion bis ins 21. Jahrhundert maßgeblich beeinflusst. Dazu gehört nicht nur sein Einfluss auf die Erkenntnistheorie und Metaphysik mit der Kritik der reinen Vernunft, sondern auch auf die Ethik mit der Kritik der praktischen Vernunft und die Ästhetik mit der Kritik der Urteilskraft. Zudem verfasste Kant bedeutende Schriften zur Religions-, Rechts- und Geschichtsphilosophie sowie Beiträge zur Astronomie und den Geowissenschaften. Klappentext Published in 1785, Immanuel Kant's Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals ranks alongside Plato's Republic and Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics as one of the most profound and influential works in moral philosophy ever written. In Kant's own words, its aim is to identify and corroborate the supreme principle of morality, the categorical imperative. He argues that human beings are ends in themselves, never to be used by anyone merely as a means, and that universal and unconditional obligations must be understood as an expression of the human capacity for autonomy and self-governance. As such, they are laws of freedom. This volume contains Mary Gregor's acclaimed translation of the text into English, revised by Jens Timmermann, and an accessible, updated introduction by Christine Korsgaard. "...Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals is an original, profound, and beautifully written piece." --George Lazaroiu, PhD, Institute of Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences, New York, Contemporary Readings in Law and Social Justice Zusammenfassung This is the revised edition of the Cambridge translation of Immanuel Kant's Groundwork! one of the most powerful texts in the history of ethical thought.
