Kant And Applied Ethics: The Uses And Limits Of Kant`S Practical Philosophy
Matthew C. Altman
Synopsis "Kant And Applied Ethics: The Uses And Limits Of Kant`S Practical Philosophy"
For Better Or Worse, Immanuel Kant Casts A Long Shadow Over Contemporary Western Thought. The Philosophical And Historical Importance Of Kants Ethics Can Hardly Be Overestimated, Yet Kants Legacy For The Wide Variety Of Issues In Applied Ethics Still Has Not Been Fully And Fairly Appreciated. Kant And Applied Ethics Takes A Comprehensive Look At Kants Moral Philosophy As It Relates To The Most Importantand Controversialethical Discussions Of Our Time, Including Same - Sex Marriage, Corporate Responsibility, Physician - Assisted Suicide, Health Care Allocation, And Abortion. Matthew C. Altman Addresses Both The Strengths And Weaknesses Of Kants Ethics, Demonstrating The Value Of His Approach For Making Informed Judgments Kant`S Emphasis On Freedom, Dignity, And Mutual Respect Is Particularly Compelling While Identifying The Ways In Which Kantian Presuppositions Lead Us Astray Or Restrict Our Vision. By Coming To Grips With Kant`S Legacy, Altman Shows, We Can Begin To Work Through These Contemporary Debates More Productively. Kant And Applied Ethics Not Only Makes An Important Contribution To Kant Scholarship, But Also Illuminates The Vital Moral Parameters Of The Most Important Ethical Issues Of Our Time
