Kant's Theory Of Action
Tags: Richard McCarty

Students of Immanuel Kant's ethical theory have had difficulty understanding basic questions of his theory of action: What are the causes of our actions? How do we act with free will? What makes an action virtuous? What is a good will? Richard McCarty presents a well argued, unusual and controversial interpretation, based on the historical context of Kant's thought, and on ideas expressed in his lecture notes on psychology and ethics.
