Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges Kant's critique of ethics, arguing that he failed to provide an adequate account of morality's basis and centrality to human nature. The author contends that obligation is not primarily grounded in reason but rather in our natural inclinations and desires, and that it is through the fulfillment of these desires that we find both happiness and virtue. The book explores the tension between reason and desire, arguing that both are essential elements of a robust and meaningful ethics. Through an examination of various ethical theories, this book offers a thought-provoking and nuanced exploration of the nature and complexity of morality, ultimately demonstrating how it is an essential aspect of being human.
