Product Description
Product Description
Ancient Greek philosophy was divided into three sciences: physics, ethics, and logic. This division is perfectly suitable to the nature of the thing; and the only improvement that can be made in it is to add the principle on which it is based, so that we may both satisfy ourselves of its completeness, and also be able to determine correctly the necessary subdivisions

Concise introduction to Kant's thought, Oct 27 2009
By Dr. Bojan Tunguz - Published on Amazon.com
Kant is not considered as one of the more accessible philosophers, and most of his monumental works are too long and beyond reach of an average reader. This short book is still fairly advanced and conceptually sophisticated, but fortunately due to its length it does not go much too deep in philosophical concepts. The book deals on several occasions with the central concept in Kant's moral philosophy, and that is the concept of categorical imperative. This imperative can be summed up in Kant's famous dictum: "Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law." Several other famous Kant concepts - like practical reason, pure reason, treating humans like ends and not as means in moral considerations, etc. - are dealt with throughout the book. You might need to read the book several times before you get a better understanding of what is being discussed, but again, since it is so short, this can be easily done. The language of the translation sounds a bit archaic to the modern ear, but this does not obscure the meaning at all. Overall, reading this book would be a worthwhile endeavor and as good of a starting point to start reading Kant as they come.

Typos!!!, April 12 2011
By Daniel K. Clouser - Published on Amazon.com
Kant is an important read. It is also fairly dense. This version is so full of typographic errors as to be nearly unreadable. I know that it's free, but this is ridiculous.

good, Dec 23 2010
By Roz11e - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals (Paperback)
immanuel kant is very well versed and has an in depth knowledge of morality which he explains very well throughout the book. i reccommend it for anybody who is getting into philosophy or for someone who is a philosopher as a refresher. i thinks its more for the novice but a very enlightening read. included inside this is a three part explanation on morality.
Listmania!
