About the Book


[T]he present groundwork is nothing more than the identification and vindication of the supreme principle of morality.'

In the Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals (1785), Immanuel Kant makes clear his two central intentions: first, to uncover the principle that underpins morality, and secondly to defend its applicability to human beings. The result is one of the most significant texts in the history of ethics,
and a masterpiece of Enlightenment thinking. Kant argues that moral law tells us to act only in ways that others could also act, thereby treating them as ends in themselves and not merely as means. Kant contends that despite apparent threats to our freedom from science, and to ethics from our
self-interest, we can nonetheless take ourselves to be free rational agents, who as such have a motivation to act on this moral law, and thus the ability to act as moral beings.

One of the most studied works of moral philosophy, this new translation by Robert Stern, Joe Saunders, and Christopher Bennett illuminates this famous text for modern readers.

About the Author:
Immanuel Kant

Christopher Bennett is Reader in Philosophy at the University of Sheffield. He has published widely on topics such as criminal justice and punishment, forgiveness, moral emotion, and moral agency, and is the author of several books, including What Is This Thing Called Ethics (Routledge 2010) and
The Apology Ritual: A Philosophical Theory of Punishment (CUP 2008). In the history of philosophy, he is particularly interested in Kantian and post-Kantian approaches.

Joe Saunders is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Durham University. He studied at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, and completed his PhD at the University of Sheffield. His research focuses on ethics and agency in Kant and the post-Kantian tradition, but he also has interests in
media ethics and the philosophy of love. His article Kant and the Problem of Recognition (IJPS 2016) won the 2015 Robert Papazian Prize.

Robert Stern is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Sheffield, where he has worked since 1989. He was previously a student and then Junior Research Fellow at St John's College Cambridge. He has published extensively on Kant, Hegel, and transcendental arguments, as well as on accounts of
moral obligation. A collection of his papers on Kant was published by Oxford University Press in 2015, under the title Kantian Ethics: Value, Agency, and Obligation.

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
