520 |a "The ten essays collected here represent a series of efforts to rethink many of the fundamentals of Kant's ethics and to draw out some implications for moral theory and practice. The five essays of Part One revisit and revise several core pieces of Kant's moral framework, offering a new understanding of the formulas of the categorical imperative, revisiting the idea of making exceptions, and deepening the contrast between Kant's project and other deontologies (especially recent contractualisms). The key is to take seriously the idea that what Kant gives us is a theory of moral reasoning, with standards of validity and soundness that position moral judgment to explicate the connection between our rational natures and our duties. Part Two takes on some less familiar topics: the ideas behind Kant's moralized view of history; the implications of a Kantian view of morality for social pluralism; the fit of Kant's conception of moral psychology with theories of normal human development; the implausible argument about our duties to animals; and last, how to understand the place of the idea of the highest good in a morally good life. The overall aim of these essays is to show that we are far from having a settled account of core Kantian commitments and to initiate a program of inquiry to peel away assumptions brought to the texts that introduce questions their arguments were not meant to answer. The more straightforward readings of central arguments remove obstacles to appreciating Kantian theory's ambition and scale"--Publisher's description.
