Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals (Dover Philosophical Classics)

Love this publisher. Looking forward to reading it .

Not bad for the price. This Digireads.com edition does show evidence of inattentive copy editing, generally restricted to substitutions of b for h ("band" where it should read "hand", "be" where it should read "he"), or an additional o in the word "to".

Focused.

This book is a magnificent book. Kant's arguments are indisputable. His sophisticated philosophy is evidently clear and concise. It is a must read book for intellectuals, philosophers, and religious devotees.

This short compendium is noteworthy in its pith. Kant can say an awful lot in a short book. To get the full value of this read, be sure to take plenty of notes and re read it in a few months when you have mulled the book over, perhaps talking to friends about it.There is one essential concept here and of course that is morals. How do we come by them and how do we distinguish them. In contemporary America, the most strident and vocal "moralists" will explain that it takes the acceptance of a personal God. Kant makes us look more closely at this concept.Essentially he distinguishes between a moral that has "ends". We do the right thing, perhaps even the noblest thing because of various ends. Those may include the good graces of others who admire your morality or the desire to avoid the shame of acting in an immoral fashion for two examples.

The book arrived with a partially broken spine.

Great read. Hard to get into, but Kant usually is!

great book, a little overly long winded and tough to read, id recommend watching a youtube vedio about it before and after to make it clear.
