Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals

Immanuel Kant

Translated by Thomas Kingsmill Abbott

Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals, published in 1785, is Immanuel Kant's foundational text in moral philosophy. It presents an a priori framework for morality, distinguishing it from empirical ethical theories. This work sets the stage for Kant's later writings, particularly The Metaphysics of Morals, and is noted for its clarity compared to the more complex subsequent texts. It is a key text in understanding Kantian ethics and meta-ethics.
