Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals: The Influential Philosophy Classic on Kant's Categorical Imperative and Ethics (Harper Perennial Modern Thought)

I especially like the additional commentary by Patton. This is a good edition and is well translated. The commentary helps to tease out some of the subtleties of Kant's work on a difficult subject of morality.

I have always loved this book-it goes back to my first day as an undergraduate. I find it the best get lost book I know of, to give to all the ex-hippies and other members of the self annointed enlightened liberal members of the world.

One of the classic books of philosophy for a cheap price, and a cool cover, not much else to say.

What a cover! Instilling new live into Kant's work, for sure. A troublesome use of parallels, plus a sense of undeniable fatality gives me the joy of trying to understand this guy.

Truly a very readable translation of Kant!

I found it very difficult to follow. Guess I'm not into philosophy.

Immanuel Kant philosophy is alight .

Strangely enough very interesting ideas that are relevant to even today...a good read even if it was for school. I got something out of this.

Very good. It helped me achieve a good result for term essay.

An outstanding work, The work itself and also Paton's rather fine elucidation. The only downside on this particular edition -- at least the copy I purchased -- was the binding. On such a small book it is not a great inconvenience but I've used a considerable amount of sellotape in keeping the pages together!

The groundwork is essential for anyone who wants to understand Kant's way of thinking about free will and morality. Like Hume, I find his rigorously syllogistic approach refreshing, relative to more modern wishy-washy rhetorical styles. However, this particular edition of the groundwork is a bit of a mess. Certain insertions are placed out of order within the rest of the text, and there are numerous typos and missing words. Read the groundwork. But read a different copy of it.

Why are there no pages or publisher details in this book? I bought this for academic essay writing which I have to reference!
