La Metafísica de las Costumbres ocupa un puesto clave en el proyecto kantiano referido a dos ámbitos: el del conocimiento de la naturaleza y el de lo que es posible por la libertad. Si los Anfangsgründe constituyen el desarrollo sistemático de los conceptos básicos descubiertos por la primera Crítica, La Metafísica de las Costumbres desarrolla los conceptos básicos desentrañados por la Crítica de la Razón práctica. De ahí que figure el sistema de la libertad. Precisamente porque esta idea presenta dos dimensiones interna e interna , dos serán las partes de esta obra que se reedita: la Doctrina del derecho y la Doctrina de la virtud. La reflexión sobre el derecho, prefigurada en algunos aspectos en el Gemeinspruch y La paz perpetua, cobra aquí fuerza sistemática al contemplar la articulación entre derecho privado, político, de gentes y cosmopolita, así como las relaciones entre derecho y moral; mientras que la Doctrina de la virtud, cuyo fundamento se encuentra en la Grundlegung y en la segunda Crítica, examina la capacidad humana de proponerse fines y adquirir virtudes, haciendo posible la encarnación de la razón práctica.

The book explores the structure of ancient Greek philosophy, categorizing it into three main sciences: physics, ethics, and logic. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the principles underlying these divisions to ensure a comprehensive framework. Rational knowledge is classified into material and formal aspects, with logic representing formal philosophy. Material philosophy is further divided into physics, which examines natural laws, and ethics, which focuses on moral laws. This framework aims to clarify the relationship between knowledge and its various branches.

The first facing-page German-English edition of the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, Kant's central contribution to modern moral philosophy.
Considered one of the most profound, influential, and important works of philosophy, Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals introduces the famous Categorical Imperative and lays down a foundation for all of Immanuel Kant's writings. In it, Kant illuminates the basic concept that is central to his moral philosophy and, in fact, to the entire field of modern ethical thought: the Categorical Imperative, the supreme principle of morality, stating that all decisions should be made based on what is universally acceptable. Featuring the renowned translation and commentary of Oxford's H. J. Paton, this volume has long been considered the definitive English edition of Kant's classic text. Kant's Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals, Paton writes in his preface, is one of the small books which is truly great: it has exercised on human thought an influence almost ludicrously disproportionate to its size.
The revised edition of the Cambridge translation of one of the most powerful texts in the history of ethical thought.
Métaphysique des moeurs 1

De la fondation de l'éthique à l'éthique appliquée : ainsi pourrait-on caractériser le projet de la Métaphysique des mœurs ; La Fondation (1785) part de l'expérience morale telle qu'elle est vécue par la conscience commune jusqu'à ce qui, permettant d'en rendre compte, apparaît comme le " principe ultime de la moralité ", c'est-à-dire l'autonomie de la volonté. Formalisme et rigorisme d'une morale qui, comme le voudrait une légende tenace, serait incapable de se confronter à la contingence des situations ? Rien n'est moins sûr. On trouvera ici, en guise de démenti, l'Introduction à la Métaphysique des mœurs, prélude par lequel Kant entamait, en 1797, une vaste recherche sur l'application de l'exigence morale (Doctrine du droit et Doctrine de la vertu)qui compose le tome II de cette édition. Traduction, introduction, bibliographie et notes par Alain Renaut.

Published in 1785, the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals is one of the most powerful texts in the history of ethical thought. In this book, Immanuel Kant formulates and justifies a supreme principle of morality that issues universal and unconditional moral commands. These commands receive their normative force from the fact that rational agents autonomously impose the moral law upon themselves. As such, they are laws of freedom. This volume contains the first facing-page German-English edition of Kant's Groundwork. It presents a new, authentic edition of the German text and a carefully revised version of Mary Gregor's acclaimed English translation, as well as editorial notes and a full bilingual index. It will be the edition of choice for any student or scholar who is not content with reading this central contribution to modern moral philosophy through the veil of English translation.
Kant's work articulates and defends the Categorical Imperative, a core principle of moral reasoning. It aims to establish a foundation for understanding justice and human virtues, positioning itself alongside the great philosophers of history. This text is essential for grasping modern moral philosophy and its implications for ethical conduct and moral law.
