The average rating for Kant's 'Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals' based on 2 reviews is 3 stars.

Review # 1 was written on 2007-08-06 00:00:00 Donald Mitchell Guyer's approach is pretty solid: he tries to show that Kant's argument in the Groundwork is connected with some of Kant's earlier writings on morality, where freedom plays a central role. The account of the preface and §1 are clear and helpful, and he puts the Groundwork in the context of Kant's larger project, but Guyer's account of §2 doesn't really make it much clearer how all the different formulations of the categorical imperative are supposed to be different formulations of the very same law. He has a useful section on how all of the different duties are supposed to be derived from the categorical imperative.
