Immanuel Kant, one of the most foundational thinkers in modern philosophy, brings forth one of his first major works on moral ethics. Within this title, Kant presents the foundations for his view on moral theory from which many other philosophers have based their works. Kant was convinced that there is a supreme principle which controls all valid moral judgement, and that this principle is purely rational in character. This principle must separate itself from any individual differences among men, lest it become relativistic in nature. Unravel all of Kant's insights on the principles of morals in this edition of Immanuel Kant's classic work. This edition of Abbott's translation has been reprinted entirely. His notes have been, with one exception, retained and are indicated by brackets. Spelling and punctuation have been revised to conform to current American usage. The numbers enclosed in brackets in the body of the text are references to the corresponding pages in the German edition of this work, by Rosencranz and Schubert in 1838. The present work in found in Vol 8 of that edition.
