Review

"Lara Denis's subtle updating of Thomas Abbott's classical translation of Kant's Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals may be the best for both students and general readers. Her clear and concise introduction highlights Kant's central claims and arguments while pointing the reader to the best of contemporary Kant scholarship. Her judicious selection of materials from Kant's other major works in moral and political philosophy—touching upon Kant's theory of the highest good, his conception of the possibility of evil as part and parcel of the possibility of freedom, his humane conception of virtue and the virtues, and much more—provide even the first-time reader with precisely the context that is necessary in order to avoid misunderstanding the Groundwork. As an added bonus, Denis includes key responses to Kant from Fichte, Schiller, and Hegel as well as Henry Sidgwick's 1888 critique of 'The Kantian Conception of Free Will,' perhaps the single most important article on Kant's ethics ever written. All in all, this volume is a brilliant introduction to one of the greatest works in the history of Western philosophy." (Paul Guyer )

"This is an outstanding new edition of Kant's Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals. Two main features make it an invaluable introduction to Kant's moral philosophy. The first is the appendices, which include carefully selected excerpts from Kant's other works in moral philosophy and classic criticisms of Kant's ideas by his contemporaries and other philosophers. The second exemplary feature of this edition is Lara Denis's concise, careful, accessible yet rigourous introduction. This edition aims to remove barriers to understanding and appreciating Kant's Groundwork; if I had to choose an ideal edition to set for courses on Kant, it would certainly be this one."
