Its systematic account of the authority of moral principles grounded in human autonomy unfolds Kant's considered views on morality and provides the keystone to his philosophical system. These new essays shed light on the principal arguments of the second Critique and explore their relation to Kant's critical philosophy as a whole. They examine the genesis of the Critique, Kant's approach to the authority of the moral law given as a 'fact of reason', the metaphysics of free agency, the account of respect for morality as the moral motive, and questions raised by the 'primacy of practical reason' and the idea of the 'postulates of pure practical reason'. Engaging and critical, this volume will be invaluable to advanced students and scholars of Kant and to moral theorists alike."--Jacket Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Kant, Immanuel, 1724-1804.
