Creating the Kingdom of Ends

Christine Korsgaard has become one of the leading interpreters
of Kant's moral philosophy. She is identified with a small group of
philosophers who are intent on producing a version of Kant's moral philosophy
that is at once sensitive to its historical roots while revealing its
particular relevance to contemporary problems. She rejects the traditional
picture of Kant's ethics as a cold vision of the moral life which emphasises
duty at the expense of love and value. Rather, Kant's work is seen as providing
a resource for addressing not only the metaphysics of morals, but also for
tackling practical questions about personal relations, politics, and everyday
human interaction. This collection contains some of the finest current work on
Kant's ethics and will command the attention of all those involved in teaching
and studying moral theory.
