The essays collected in this volume by Paul Guyer, one of the world’s foremost Kant scholars, explore Kant’s attempt to develop a morality grounded on the intrinsic and unconditional value of the human freedom to set our own ends. When regulated by the principle that the freedom of all is equally valuable, the freedom to set our own ends — what Kant calls “humanity” – becomes what he calls autonomy. These essays explore Kant’s strategies for establishing the premise that freedom is the inner worth of the world or the essential end of humankind, as he says, and for deriving the specific duties that fundamental principle of morality generates in the empirical circumstances of human existence.
