First sentence: In this chapter I will investigate the nature of Kant's early writing on ethics, but the designation 'pre-critical' does not mean that only writings prior to 1770 or 1781 will be discussed.
Description: The discussion of Kant's Practical Philosophy has been marred by viewing it as purely formalist and centred only on the categorical imperative. This important new study sets out a much more vivid account of the nature and range of Kant's concerns demonstrating his commitment to the notion of rational religion and including extensive discussion of his treatment of evil. Culminating with accounts of property, the nature of right and virtue, this work presents Kant as a vital revolutionary thinker.
