Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals: Oxford World's Classics

Autor Immanuel Kant Traducere de Christopher Bennett, Joe Saunders Robert Stern
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 noi 2019

Considerăm această nouă ediție din seria Oxford World's Classics a lucrării Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals drept un instrument indispensabil pentru studiul eticii în învățământul universitar. Situată la temelia curriculei de filosofie morală, lucrarea din 1785 a lui Immanuel Kant propune o viziune radicală asupra autonomiei umane, definind moralitatea nu prin consecințe, ci prin conformitatea cu legea rațiunii. Cititorii familiarizați cu The Moral Law din seria Routledge Classics vor aprecia în acest volum rigoarea noii traduceri semnate de Robert Stern, Joe Saunders și Christopher Bennett, care reușește să ilumineze nuanțele terminologiei kantiene pentru cititorul contemporan, fără a sacrifica precizia tehnică.

Structura volumului reflectă o progresie logică riguroasă, fiind organizată în trei secțiuni fundamentale: tranziția de la cunoașterea morală comună la cea filosofică, trecerea către metafizica moravurilor și, în final, fundamentarea libertății în The Critique of Practical Reason. Ceea ce diferențiază această ediție este aparatul critic bogat, în special cele șase apendice care includ fragmente din „Ce este Iluminismul?” și corespondența lui Fichte, oferind o perspectivă panoramică asupra evoluției gândirii kantiene. În contextul operei sale, dacă Critique Of Pure Reason stabilea limitele cunoașterii umane, acest text aplică aceleași standarde critice domeniului acțiunii, transformând datoria într-un imperativ categoric. Recomandăm acest volum pentru claritatea cu care tratează tensiunea dintre determinismul științific și libertatea morală, poziționând subiectul ca agent rațional capabil de autodeterminare.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această ediție oricărui student sau pasionat de etică deoarece oferă o traducere modernă și un context istoric complet prin apendicele incluse. Cititorul va câștiga o înțelegere profundă a conceptului de „scop în sine” și a modului în care rațiunea fundamentează demnitatea umană. Este o resursă esențială pentru a descifra mecanismele din spatele deciziilor morale corecte, dincolo de interesele personale imediate.


Despre autor

Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) s-a născut și a trăit întreaga viață în Königsberg, Prusia, fiind figura centrală a filosofiei moderne și a Iluminismului german. Lucrările sale fundamentale, precum Critique Of Pure Reason și Critique of Judgment, au redefinit limitele cunoașterii, esteticii și metafizicii. Kant a reușit să creeze o punte între școlile raționaliste și empiriste, impunând o nouă paradigmă în care subiectul participă activ la constituirea experienței. Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals rămâne cea mai influentă contribuție a sa la filosofia practică, stabilind bazele deontologiei moderne.


Descriere

[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.

Recenzii

Kant’s Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals, first published in 1785, is still one of the most widely read and influential works of moral philosophy. This Broadview edition combines a newly revised version of T.K. Abbott’s respected translation with material crucial for placing the Groundwork in the context of Kant’s broader moral thought. A varied selection of other ethical writings by Kant on subjects including our moral duties, fundamental principles of justice, the concept of happiness, and the relation of morality to religion are included, along with important criticisms of Kant’s ethics by Fichte, Schiller, Hegel, and Sidgwick.

“Lara Denis’s subtle updating of Thomas Abbott’s classical translation of Kant’s Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals may be the best for both students and general readers. Her clear and concise introduction highlights Kant’s central claims and arguments while pointing the reader to the best of contemporary Kant scholarship. Her judicious selection of materials from Kant’s other major works in moral and political philosophy—touching upon Kant’s theory of the highest good, his conception of the possibility of evil as part and parcel of the possibility of freedom, his humane conception of virtue and the virtues, and much more—provide even the first-time reader with precisely the context that is necessary in order to avoid misunderstanding the Groundwork. As an added bonus, Denis includes key responses to Kant from Fichte, Schiller, and Hegel as well as Henry Sidgwick’s 1888 critique of ‘The Kantian Conception of Free Will,’ perhaps the single most important article on Kant’s ethics ever written. All in all, this volume is a brilliant introduction to one of the greatest works in the history of Western philosophy.” — Paul Guyer, University of Pennsylvania
“This is an outstanding new edition of Kant’s Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals. Two main features make it an invaluable introduction to Kant’s moral philosophy. The first is the appendices, which include carefully selected excerpts from Kant’s other works in moral philosophy and classic criticisms of Kant’s ideas by his contemporaries and other philosophers. The second exemplary feature of this edition is Lara Denis’s concise, careful, accessible yet rigourous introduction. This edition aims to remove barriers to understanding and appreciating Kant’s Groundwork; if I had to choose an ideal edition to set for courses on Kant, it would certainly be this one.” — Lucy Allais, University of Sussex
