The Transition From Popular Moral Philosophy To The Metaphysics Of Morals

""The Transition From Popular Moral Philosophy To The Metaphysics Of Morals"" is a philosophical work written by the German philosopher Immanuel Kant. The book explores the evolution of moral philosophy from popular, common-sense beliefs to a more systematic, metaphysical approach. Kant argues that popular moral philosophy is based on subjective opinions and emotions, whereas the metaphysics of morals is grounded in reason and objective principles. He also discusses the relationship between morality and freedom, arguing that moral actions must be freely chosen in order to have moral worth. The book is divided into two parts. The first part examines popular moral philosophy and its limitations, while the second part explores the metaphysics of morals and its implications for ethical theory. Kant's writing is complex and rigorous, and the book is considered a foundational text in the field of moral philosophy. Overall, ""The Transition From Popular Moral Philosophy To The Metaphysics Of Morals"" is a challenging but important work that offers a unique perspective on the nature of morality and the role of reason in ethical decision-making.THIS 68 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Literary and Philosophical Essays: French, German and Italian: V32 Harvard Classics, by Immanuel Kant.
