Reviews
"This is the rare guide to Kant's Groundwork suitable even for students new to philosophy. The clear, concise chapters focus on only the most essential concepts from all three sections of the Groundwork. The authors expertly illuminate Kant's ethical thought and facilitate engagement with the text."
-Lara Denis, Agnes Scott College
"A collection of beautifully clear and concise essays on Kant's most famous ethical work, each written by an outstanding scholar. The crucial ideas of the Groundwork are expertly explained in ways that are both philosophically rich and reader friendly. This volume is an invaluable companion for any student or teacher of Kantian ethics."
-Karen Stohr, Georgetown University
"A wonderfully clear and concise philosophical introduction to Kant's seminal ethical treatise."
