| Kant has adopted in this work the method which he thinks most suitable, proceeding analytically from common knowledge to the determination of its ultimate principle, and again descending synthetically from the examination of this principle and its sources to the common knowledge in which we find it employed. The division will, therefore, be as follows: First Section. Transition from the common rational knowledge of morality to the philosophical. Second Section. Transition from popular moral philosophy to the metaphysic of morals. Third Section. Final step from the metaphysic of morals to the critique of the pure practical reason. Please Note: This book has been reformatted to be easy to read in true text, not scanned images that can sometimes be difficult to decipher. The Microsoft eBook has a contents page linked to the chapter headings for easy navigation. The Adobe eBook has bookmarks at chapter headings and is printable up to two full copies per year. Both versions are text searchable. |
