Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Formal and Material Elements of Kant's Ethics The primal fact that strikes one in Kant's Ethics, leaving out of view the fact that they are a necessary part of his complete method, is that he is thoroughly animated by the spirit of Stoicism; and that further, in this spirit, he is aiming more particularly at a refutation of the contemporary sensationalistic schools. In accomplishing the double object called forth by these two facts, and in fitting his doctrines into the terminology of the critical method, he had the misfortune to express himself in terms peculiar to Logic; thereby provoking a merely logical refutation, and one, on that account, often wide of the mark and quite blind to the ethical truth conveyed. The terminology thus adopted was that by which the elements of a science are classed under one of the two heads of Form or Matter. This division served Kant doubly thus: it allowed him to distinguish as the Greeks had done, between Reason, Will and Spirit on the one hand, and Sense, Impulse, Matter and Body on the other; at the same time by advocating an ethics of "form," he showed that he regarded the moral law as a product of Reasomin contrast to the Moral Sense foundation of the English scnool. For, he thought, Ethics must proceed from reason; and to be Ethics, must give a law, the a priori product of pure reason; and which, therefore, can be only the mere concept or form of a law.

Download or read book Force and Freedom written by Arthur Ripstein and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010-02-15 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this masterful work, both an illumination of Kant’s thought and an important contribution to contemporary legal and political theory, Arthur Ripstein gives a comprehensive yet accessible account of Kant’s political philosophy. Ripstein shows that Kant’s thought is organized around two central claims: first, that legal institutions are not simply responses to human limitations or circumstances; indeed the requirements of justice can be articulated without recourse to views about human inclinations and vulnerabilities. Second, Kant argues for a distinctive moral principle, which restricts the legitimate use of force to the creation of a system of equal freedom. Ripstein’s description of the unity and philosophical plausibility of this dimension of Kant’s thought will be a revelation to political and legal scholars. In addition to providing a clear and coherent statement of the most misunderstood of Kant’s ideas, Ripstein also shows that Kant’s views remain conceptually powerful and morally appealing today. Ripstein defends the idea of equal freedom by examining several substantive areas of law—private rights, constitutional law, police powers, and punishment—and by demonstrating the compelling advantages of the Kantian framework over competing approaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Metaphysics of Morals' is a renowned work of political and moral philosophy by Immanuel Kant. Divided into two main parts, the Doctrine of Right deals with political rights and the Doctrine of Virtue deals with ethical virtues. Kant's work emphasizes treating humanity as an end in itself and distinguishes between duties towards ourselves and duties towards others. The Doctrine of Right is one of the last examples of classical republicanism in political philosophy, while the Doctrine of Virtue develops Kant's ethical theory. Overall, 'The Metaphysics of Morals' is a thought-provoking and influential contribution to the field of philosophy.
Download or read book The Development of Kant s View of Ethics written by Keith Ward and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-04-18 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1972, The Development of Kant's Ethics is Keith Ward's exceptional analysis of the history of Kant's ideas on ethics and the emergence of Kantian ethics as a mature theory. Through a thorough overview of all of Kant's texts written between 1755 and 1804, Ward puts forth the argument that the critical literature surrounding Kantian ethics has underplayed Kant's concern with the role of happiness in relation to morality and the significance of the tradition of natural law for the development of Kantian ethics. Covering all of Kant's extant works from Nova Dilucidatio to Opus Postumum, Ward traces the progression of Kant's views from his early ideas on Rationalism to Moral Sense Theory and the development of Critical Philosophy, and finally to his later-life writings on the relationship between morality and faith. Through careful analysis of each of Kant's works, Ward details the scientific, philosophical, and theological ideas that influenced Kant—such as the works of Emanuel Swedenborg—and demonstrates the critical role these influences played in the development of Kantian ethics. Offering a rare and extraordinary historical view of some of Kant's most important contributions to philosophy, this is an invaluable resource for scholars engaged in questions on the origins and influences of Kant's work, and for students seeking a thorough understanding of Kant's historical and philosophical contexts.

Download or read book Kant s Theory of Conscience written by Samuel Kahn and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-06 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main body of this Element, about Kant's theory of conscience, is divided into two sections. The first focuses on exegesis of Kant's ethics. One of the overarching theses of this section of the Element is that, although many of Kant's claims about conscience are prima facie inconsistent, a close examination of context generally can dissolve apparent contradictions. The second section of the Element focuses on philosophical issues in Kantian ethics. One of the overarching theses of this section of the Element is that many positions traditionally associated with Kantian ethics, including the denial of moral luck, the nonaccidental rightness condition, and the guise of the objectively good, are at variance with Kant's ethics.
Download or read book Kant s Ethics written by John Silber and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-05-29 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kant’s Ethics: The Good, Freedom, and the Will is a systematic examination of Kant’s ethics that recognizes the central importance of the good in relation to duty as forming a unified whole, in accordance with Kant’s intent. The Enlightenment, by undermining the religious foundations of morality, prompted Kant to offer a new foundation for ethics based not on religion but on reason. The first chapter provides the context of Kant’s ethics and explains the criteria by which to select views that are authoritative among Kant’s variety of statements. With these criteria for interpretation in hand, the book attempts a systematic account of Kant’s ethics as he developed it over a period of more than 40 years. Kant’s Ethics includes an analysis of the tripartite nature of the will in its dynamic unity and the relation of the will to the good. An appendix, “Kant at Auschwitz,” briefly considers a serious problem for Kant’s political philosophy that follows from his insistence on obeying civil authority.

Download or read book Kant on Freedom Law and Happiness written by Paul Guyer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-02-13 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kant is often portrayed as the author of a rigid system of ethics in which adherence to a formal and universal principle of morality - the famous categorical imperative - is an end itself, and any concern for human goals and happiness a strictly secondary and subordinate matter. Such a theory seems to suit perfectly rational beings but not human beings. The twelve essays in this collection by one of the world's preeminent Kant scholars argue for a radically different account of Kant's ethics. They explore an interpretation of the moral philosophy according to which freedom is the fundamental end of human action, but an end that can only be preserved and promoted by adherence to moral law. By radically revising the traditional interpretation of Kant's moral and political philosophy and by showing how Kant's coherent liberalism can guide us in current debates, Paul Guyer will find an audience across moral and political philosophy, intellectual history, and political science.
