Christine Korsgaard has become one of the leading interpreters of Kants moral philosophy. She is identified with a small group of philosophers who are intent on producing a version of Kants moral philosophy that is at once sensitive to its historical roots while revealing its particular relevance to contemporary problems. She rejects the traditional picture of Kants ethics as a cold vision of the moral life which emphasises duty at the expense of love and value. Rather, Kants work is seen as providing a resource for addressing not only the metaphysics of morals, but also for tackling practical questions about personal relations, politics, and everyday human interaction. This collection contains some of the finest current work on Kants ethics and will command the attention of all those involved in teaching and studying moral theory.
