Immanuel Kant
Immanuel Kant’s Theory of Ethics stands as a cornerstone of modern moral philosophy. In this seminal work, Kant articulates his groundbreaking concepts of the categorical imperative, duty, and the significance of rational autonomy in moral decision-making. Challenging conventional ethical frameworks, Kant argues for a system based on reason and universal moral laws, rather than on emotions or empirical consequences. His exploration of duty and moral obligation provides a framework for understanding how individuals can act in accordance with universal moral principles. Kant’s treatise delves into the profound implications of his deontological approach, influencing generations of philosophers and continuing to shape contemporary discussions on ethics, law, and political theory. Theory of Ethics remains an essential text for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the foundations of moral thought and the enduring quest to define what constitutes right action.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
