Reviews

Advance praise: 'Cholbi strikes a very nice balance between the complexities and nuances of Kant's system and the real-world implications of his ethics.' Johan Brannmark, Malmo University Advance praise: 'This excellent introduction to Kant's ethics presents a sympathetic account of the fundamental aspects of Kant's moral theory. It contains illuminating critical discussions of some of the most pressing objections to Kant's moral theory, and is filled with helpful illustrative examples. It also gives the reader a clear picture of the main contrasts between Kantianism, utilitarianism, and virtue ethics. The end result is a powerful defense of Kant's moral theory that does justice to the rich details of Kant's position while at the same time painting an even-handed picture of its strengths and weaknesses.' Anne Margaret Baxley, Washington University, St Louis
