Download or read book Kant and Law written by B.Sharon Byrd and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immanuel Kant's legal philosophy and theory have played an enormous role in the development of law since the eighteenth century. Although this influence can be seen primarily in German law and in the law of nations which have traditionally been oriented toward German legal development, today Kant's philosophy has experienced a Renaissance in the Anglo-American legal world. This anthology collects what the editors believe to be the very best of articles on Kant's legal theory, with an emphasis on his Metaphysics of Morals of 1797. In particular the articles relate to: 1) the nature of law and justice, 2) private law, 3) public law, 4) criminal law, 5) international law, and 6) cosmopolitan law.

Download or read book Kant s Conception of Moral Character written by G. Felicitas Munzel and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently fashionable among critics of enlightenment thought is the charge that Kant's ethics fails to provide an adequate account of character and its formation in moral and political life. G. Felicitas Munzel challenges this reading of Kant's thought, claiming not only that Kant has a very rich notion of moral character, but also that it is a conception of systematic importance for his thought, linking the formal moral with the critical, aesthetic, anthropological, and biological aspects of his philosophy. The first book to focus on character formation in Kant's moral philosophy, it builds on important recent work on Kant's aesthetics and anthropology, and brings these to bear on moral issues. Munzel traces Kant's multifaceted definition of character through the broad range of his writings, and then explores the structure of character, its actual exercise in the world, and its cultivation. An outstanding work of original textual analysis and interpretation, Kant's Conception of Moral Character is a major contribution to Kant studies and moral philosophy in general.

Download or read book Immanuel Kant s Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals written by Dieter Schönecker and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-05 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A defining work of moral philosophy, Kant’s Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals has been influential to an extent far beyond what its modest length (roughly 75 pages) might suggest. It is also a famously difficult work, concerned with propounding universal principles rather than answering practical questions. As even professional philosophers will admit, first-time readers are not alone in finding some of its arguments perplexing. Offering an introduction that is accessible to students and relevant to specialized scholars, Dieter Schönecker and Allen Wood make luminously clear the ways the Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals forms the basis of our modern moral outlook: that all human beings have equal dignity as ends in themselves; that every rational being is a self-governing agent whose morality freely derives from his or her own will; and that all rational beings constitute an ideal community, bound only by the moral laws they have agreed upon. Schönecker and Wood explain key Kantian concepts of duty, the good will, and moral worth, as well as the propositions Kant uses to derive his conception of the moral law. How the law relates to freedom, and the significance of the free will within Kant’s overall philosophy are rigorously interrogated. Where differing interpretations of Kant’s claims are possible, the authors provide alternative options, giving arguments for each. This critical introduction will help readers of the Groundwork gain an informed understanding of Kant’s challenging but central philosophical work.

This book was released on 2003-04-29 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2001 im Fachbereich Soziale Arbeit / Sozialarbeit, Note: 1,0, Technische Universität Dresden (Institut für Sozialpädagogik und Sozialarbeit), Veranstaltung: Seminar: Soziale Bildung, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Immanuel Kant ist wahrscheinlich einer der prominentesten und meist zitierten deutschen Philosophen. Nahezu alle metaphysischen beziehungsweise philosophischen Bereiche deckt Kant allein mit seinem Werk „Die Kritik der reinen Vernunft“ ab. Dennoch kann man Immanuel Kant in so fern einen roten Faden unterstellen, in dem man sich bewußt macht, daß er immerzu auf der Suche nach menschlicher Erkenntnis war. Für die vorliegende Arbeit ist seine Erkenntnistheorie und darüber hinaus die Verknüpfung derselben mit einem allgemeingültigen Sittengesetz wichtig. Der kategorische Imperativ bildet den Zusammenhang zwischen diesen beiden bzw. den Schlüssel für eine Ethik, die das menschliche Handeln bestimmt oder vielmehr bestimmen sollte. Da nach Kant die Vernunft das höchste Gut der Menschheit bzw. die letzte Autorität der Moral ist, werde ich zunächst näher auf Grundgedanken aus „Der Kritik der reinen Vernunft“ eingehen. Auf dem Weg zu einem generalisierbaren Moralprinzip müssen auch Bereiche der „Praktischen Vernunft“ eingehend thematisiert werden, denn darauf aufbauend bildet die Formel bzw. die Erklärung des kategorischen Imperativs den Ausgang für Kants Moralphilosophie. Ich werde somit versuchen, die für die Arbeit wichtigen Grundsätze der Philosophie Kants möglichst einleuchtend darzustellen aber andererseits sie auf den wesentlichen Zusammenhang, nämlich den des Kategorischen Imperativs, zu begrenzen. Mich interessiert dabei nicht, ob es heutzutage möglich ist die von Kant postulierte Ethik zu vertreten bzw. in die Tat umsetzen zu wollen, sondern ausschließlich die gedachte Form auf die er sich berufen hat, nachzuvollziehen bzw. zu veranschaulichen.

Krijnen bringt Hegels logische und geistphilosophische Freiheitslehre zur Darstellung und sucht zu zeigen, daß und wie in ihr ein fundamentaler Aspekt der Freiheit thematisch wird, der in Kants Lehre unterbeleuchtet bleibt. Die Diskussionsbeiträge zeigen, welchen Stellenwert dem einen und dem anderen Paradigma im aktuellen Urteil zuerkannt wird. Flach presents Kant’s conception of freedom as well as its potential for understanding what it means to be human.

Download or read book Kant Duty and Moral Worth written by Philip Stratton-Lake and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-07-05 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kant, Duty and Moral Worth is a fascinating and original examination of Kant's account of moral worth. The complex debate at the heart of Kant's philosophy is over whether Kant said moral actions have worth only if they are carried out from duty, or whether actions carried out from mixed motives can be good. Philip Stratton-Lake offers a unique account of acting from duty, which utilizes the distinction between primary and secondary motives. He maintains that the moral law should not be understood as a normative moral reason but as playing a transcendental role. Thus a Kantian account of moral worth is one where the virtuous agent may be responsive to concrete particular considerations, whilst preserving an essential role for universal moral principles. Kant, Duty and Moral Worth is a lucid examination of Kant's moral thought that will appeal to Kant scholars and anyone interested in moral theory.
