Provides a fresh perspective on themes in Kant's moral philosophy Addresses systematically Kant's foundational work, Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals and his more specific treatment of justice and virtue in The Metaphysics of Morals Includes essays by both established scholars and rising stars Identifies common misperceptions of Kant's thought and challenges some prevailing interpretations Shows how Kant developed and supplemented his earlier ethical thought with specific discussions of practical issues in law, international relations, personal relations, and self-regarding virtues and vices.
