Description

Andrews Reath presents a selection of his best essays on various features of Kant's moral psychology and moral theory, with particular emphasis on his conception of rational agency and his conception of autonomy. Together the essays articulate Reath's original approach to Kant's views about human autonomy, which explains Kant's belief that objective moral requirements are based on principles we choose for ourselves. With two new papers, and revised versions of several others, the volume will be of great interest to all students and scholars of Kant and of moral philosophy.

Reviews

"Andrews Reath is one of the most important post-Rawlsian Kantian moral philosophers and particularly important for his focus on close readings of specific passages in key Kantian texts. This collection of his best published (and two previously unpublished) articles gives an excellent sense for Reath's overall reading of Kant.... This book should be read by all serious Kant scholars and anyone interested in neoKantian ethics."--Patrick Frierson, The Review of Metaphysics
