Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text aims, in presenting Kant's pre-critical writings, to show that ethics was a central preoccupation for Kant long before the second "Critique". It draws together materials not only from Kant's early published writings but also from unfinished fragments, lecture notes and correspondence. The result is an investigation of the development of Kant's moral philosophy prior to the publication of the first "Critique". The work aims to make the reader re-examine Kant's ethical thought as a whole, and in doing so, find a more rational interpretation.
