Barbara Herman argues for a radical shift in the way we perceive Kant's ethics. She convincingly reinterprets the key texts, at once allowing Kant to mean what he says while showing that what Kant says makes good moral sense. She urges us to abandon the tradition that describes Kantian ethics as a deontology, a moral system of rules of duty. She finds the central idea of Kantian ethics not in duty but in practical rationality as a norm of unconditioned goodness. This book both clarifies Kant's own theory and adds programmatic vitality to modern moral philosophy. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

The Practice of Moral Judgment is the most compelling interpretation of Kant that I've read so far. Whether it is faithful to Kant is somewhat hard to say. I'm inclined to read him in the way Herman does, but Kant does himself no favors in many of his looser moments. As such, one could say that Herman is reading Kant with rose-colored glasses. But this is not a criticism—if Kant didn't mean what Herman took him to be saying, I think it's the way he should have meant it. (
