Description:

Kant's Impure Ethics is the first book-length study in any language to examine in detail and assess critically the severely neglected "second part" of Kant's ethics, a part that he called "applied moral philosophy, moral anthropology, to which the empirical principles belong ... ethics applied to the human being".

Synopsis:

This is the first book-length study in any language to examine in detail and critically assess the second part of Kant's ethics-an empirical, impure part, which determines how best to apply pure principles to the human situation. Drawing attention to Kant's under-explored impure ethics, this revealing investigation refutes the common and long-standing misperception that Kant's ethics advocates empty formalism. Making detailed use of a variety of Kantian texts never before translated into English, author Robert B. Louden reassesses the strengths and weaknesses of Kantian ethics as a whole, once the second part is re-admitted to its rightful place within Kant's practical philosophy.
