Let's Change The World Together What is Kant's purpose in writing the Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals?Kant's purpose for writing the Groundwork is not to tell us right and wrong, but to protect moral judgment from the influence of bad moral theory about the ultimate moral principle. Timmermann makes a helpful analogy comparing native language use to common moral judgment, and linguistic theory to moral theory.
What is Kant's basic project in the groundwork?The basic idea, as Kant describes it in the Groundwork, is that what makes a good person good is his possession of a will that is in a certain way “determined” by, or makes its decisions on the basis of, whatever basic moral principles there may be.
What is Kant's main point?At the foundation of Kant's system is the doctrine of “transcendental idealism,” which emphasizes a distinction between what we can experience (the natural, observable world) and what we cannot (“supersensible” objects such as God and the soul). Kant argued that we can only have knowledge of things we can experience.
What is the meaning of Metaphysics of Morals?The Metaphysics of Morals (German: Die Metaphysik der Sitten) is a 1797 work of political and moral philosophy by Immanuel Kant. In structure terms, it is divided into two sections: the Doctrine of Right, dealing with rights, and the Doctrine of Virtue, dealing with virtues.
