Ebook: Der Zweck an sich selbst: Eine Untersuchung zu Kants "Grundlegung zur Metaphysik der Sitten"

Although Kant’s Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals is among the most interpreted of philosophical works, its core theorems still remain opaque. This is particularly the case for the “end in itself.” This study examines questions in relation to the theorem’s content, systematic function, and complex references, especially its connection to Kant’s deduction of the categorical imperative.
