Constructions of Reason

Explorations of Kant's Practical Philosophy

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Two centuries after publication, Kant's ethical writings are as much admired and imitated as they have ever been, yet serious and long-standing accusations of internal incoherence remain unresolved. This book traces the alleged incoherences to attempts to assimilate Kant's ethical writings to modern conceptions of rationality, actions and rights.
