This book examines the significance of Kant’s moral philosophy in contemporary philosophical debates. It argues that Kant’s philosophy can still serve as a guide to navigate the turbulence of a globalized world in which we are faced by an imprescriptible social reality wherein moral values and ethical life models are becoming increasingly unstable. The volume draws on Kantian ethics to discuss various contemporary issues, including sustainable development, moral enhancement, sexism and racism. It also tackles general concepts of practical philosophy such as lying, the different kinds of moral duties and the kind of motivation one needs for doing what we consider the right thing.

The volume draws on Kantian ethics to discuss various contemporary issues, including sustainable development, moral enhancement, sexism and racism. It also tackles general concepts of practical philosophy such as lying, the different kinds of moral duties and the kind of motivation one needs for doing what we consider the right thing.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
