Abstract

What mainly serves to distinguish Kant’s 1797 The Doctrine of Virtue (part I of the Metaphysics of Morals) from the earlier Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals (1785) and Critique of Practical Reason (1788) is (1) his presentation of ethics as fundamentally a doctrine of ends, (2) the development of his conception of virtue, and (3) his presentation and defense of a fairly comprehensive system of ethical duties that occupies the main part of the work. This chapter provides an overview of these topics and their significance in Kant’s moral philosophy.
