Summary

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. This collection contains some of the finest work being done on Kant's ethics and will command the attention of all those involved in teaching and studying moral theory.
