With this volume, Werner Pluhar completes his work on Kant's three Critiques, an accomplishment unique among English language translators of Kant.
At once accurate, fluent, and accessible, Pluhar's rendition of the Critique of Practical Reason meets the standards set in his widely respected translations of the Critique of Judgment (1987) and the Critique of Pure Reason (1996).

In his Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals Kant outlined the structure of moral reasoning, but to reach this critical point in his philosophy he had to demonstrate how reasoning about ethics could emerge. While the Critique of Pure Reason offers the foundation for his theories of knowledge and reality and the manner in which we come to possess ideas about the world, Kant's Critique of Practical Reason shows how these mental processes are linked - how the mind moves from a formal understanding of reasoning in general to moral reasoning in particular.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition, Eleventh Printing. Critique of Practical Reason by Immanuel Kant, translated by Lewis White Beck, is a foundational work in moral philosophy, where Kant explores the nature of human agency, morality, and ethical decision-making. In this text, Kant delves into the concept of practical reason, which he defines as the ability to make decisions based on moral principles, rather than purely on empirical knowledge or desires. He argues that moral actions are not determined by consequences but by adherence to a universal moral law, which he famously articulates through the categorical imperative. Kant examines how practical reason can guide individuals toward moral actions that respect the dignity and autonomy of others. The work also addresses the relationship between freedom and morality, emphasizing that true freedom is found in the ability to act according to moral laws. The Critique of Practical Reason is crucial for understanding Kant's ethical philosophy and his broader ideas about human autonomy, duty, and moral law. Seller Inventory # NF.KAN.1975.1
