Kant: Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals
内容简介
Published in 1785, Immanuel Kant's Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals ranks alongside Plato's Republic and Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics as one of the most profound and influential works in moral philosophy ever written. In Kant's own words, its aim is to identify and corroborate the supreme principle of morality, the categorical imperative. He argues that human beings are ends in themselves, never to be used by anyone merely as a means, and that universal and unconditional obligations must be understood as an expression of the human capacity for autonomy and self-governance. As such, they are laws of freedom. This volume contains Mary Gregor's acclaimed translation of the text into English, revised by Jens Timmermann, and an accessible, updated introduction by Christine Korsgaard.

在世界之内，一般而言甚至在世界之外，除了一个善的意志之外，不可能设想任何东西能够被无限制的视为是善的。知性、机智、判断力以及其他能够被称为精神的才能的东西，或者在下决心时的勇气、果断、坚韧这些气质的属性，毫无疑问在许多方面都是善的和值得期望的。
