The Metaphysics of Morals is Kant's final major work in moral philosophy. In it, he presents the basic concepts and principles of right and virtue and the system of duties of human beings as such. The work comprises two parts: the Doctrine of Right concerns outer freedom and the rights of human beings against one another; the Doctrine of Virtue concerns inner freedom and the ethical duties of human beings to themselves and others.

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 obligatio...

In Griechenland erinnert man sich bis heute an die deutsche Besatzung der Jahre 1941–1944, im deutschen Gedächtnis hingegen ist dieses Kriegsgeschehen vergessen oder wird beschwiegen. Die Asymmetrie der Vergangenheitsbewältigungen wird mehr als deutlich, wenn man, wie es die Beiträgerinnen und Beiträger dieses Buches getan haben, den beiden Erinnerungskulturen im öffentlichen Bewusstsein, in der Literatur und den Medien nachspürt. Vor allem in Krisenzeiten boomt das Klischee, doch der euro...

This revised edit...

In a footnote to the Preface of his A nthropology Kant gives, if not altogether accurately, the historical background for the publication of this work. The A nthropology is, in effect, his manual for a course of lectures which he gave "for some thirty years," in the winter semesters at the University of Konigsberg. In 1797, when old age forced him to discontinue the course and he felt that his manual would not compete with the lectures themselves, he decided to let the work be published (A...
