Kants Practical Philosophy: From Critique to Doctrine [Hardcover]

Discussing his commitment to the notion of rational religion and his treatment of evil, this important study provides a vivid account of Kant's concerns.Introduction Kant's pre-Critical Ethics Freedom and the Ends of Reason The Supreme Principle of Morality The 'Fact' of Reason and the Summum Bonum Radical Evil and Moral Redemption Possession, Property and Contract The Ends of Virtue The Final Ends of Practical Philosophy Notes Bibliography Index
