Value of Humanity in Kant''s Moral Theory

Zusatztext Dean's book is certainly both challenging and stimulating . . . Dean brings the issue of reconciling the unconditional value of the good will and the value of humanity as an end in itself to the fore, and this should inspire further moral enquiries of a sort that will be good not only for Kantian ethics, but for ethics and applied ethics in general. Zusammenfassung Offers a systematic examination of the humanity formulation. This book presents an analysis of what it means to treat humanity as an end in itself, and examines the implications both for Kant scholarship and for practical guidance on specific moral issues.
