Kant and the Problem of MoralityRethinking the Contemporary World\nAuthor(s): Luigi Caranti, Alessandro Pinzani\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge India\nISBN-13: 9780367461256, 978-0367461256\nSynopsis\nThis book examines the significance of Kants moral philosophy in contemporary philosophical debates. It argues that Kants philosophy can still serve as a guide to navigate the turbulence of a globalized world in which we are faced by an imprescriptible social reality wherein moral values and ethical life models are becoming increasingly unstable. The volume draws on Kantian ethics to discuss various contemporary issues, including sustainable development, moral enhancement, sexism, and racism. It also tackles general concepts of practical philosophy such as lying, the different kinds of moral duties, and the kind of motivation one needs for doing what we consider the right thing.\n\nFeaturing readings by well-known Kant specialis.
