Reviews
Ware's work is excellent * Martin Sticker, Kantian Review *
Ware's Kant's Justification of Ethics "contains valuable contributions to many debates about the foundations of Kant's ethical project. As such, it will be essential reading for anyone interested in the foundations of Kant's ethics." * Karl Schafer, University of Texas, Philosophical Quarterly *
Owen Ware's Kant's Justification of Ethics is an "impressively researched, wide-ranging, and ground-clearing book." * Jessica Tizzard, University Tubingen, Studi Kantiani *
Ware's work is excellent...It continues the tradition of adding value to Kant scholarship by discussing Kant's methods and aims. * Martin Sticker, University of Bristol, Kantian Review *
Kant's Justification of Ethics can be seen as a substantial work on Kant's practical philosophy that at various points provides a fresh look at Kant's arguments for human freedom and moral normativity. * Steffi Schadow, Heinrich Heine University Duesseldorf, Archiv fur Geschichte der Philosophie *
Owen Ware's Kant's Justification of Ethics is certainly a worthwhile read for scholars of Kant and normative ethics as well as advanced students of Kant's practical philosophy. Well-written, conceptually strong, and clearly organized, Ware's book manages to accomplish a great deal in terms of novel Kantian scholarship while at the same time constituting a useful general guidebook to the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, the Critique of Practical Reason, and to the philosophical task of justifying moralit's bindingness on us. * Olga Lenczewska, University of North Carolina, British Journal for the History of Philosophy *
Kant's Justification of Ethics and Fichte's Moral Philosophy are "chockful of stimulating interpretive theses, supported by outstanding scholarship and argument. To all interested in their topics, I highly recommend these books, each individually, but especially together." * William F. Bristow, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, European Journal of Philosophy *
