Description
Immanuel Kant's seminal work, Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, stands as a cornerstone of Western ethical thought, seeking to identify and establish the supreme principle of morality. Kant meticulously explores the concept of the categorical imperative, arguing that rational beings must be treated as ends in themselves, never merely as means. This profound treatise delves into the nature of moral obligation, grounding it in human autonomy and the capacity for self-governance. The text offers a rigorous examination of duty and the foundations of a moral law that applies universally to all rational creatures.
