A translation of Kant's Kritik der praktischen Vernunft, completed by H. W. Cassirer in 1976 (his first draft was written 30 years earlier), and lightly prepared for publication posthumously by editors G. Heath King and Ronald Weitzman. Cassirer aimed to provide a technically accurate rendering of Kant's text which is attentive to the spirit as well as the letter of Kant's original, while showing the movement of his thinking as it unfolds.

In 'The Critique of Practical Reason,' Immanuel Kant embarks on a pioneering exploration of moral philosophy. Here, Kant lays down the cornerstones of ethical behavior, propelled by the famous 'categorical imperative' that guides actions by universal maxims. This work delves into the nature of free will, the concept of duty, and the moral law within, presenting a compelling argument for autonomy and rationality in ethical decision-making. A foundational text, it is essential for understanding moral agency and integrity. Read in English, unabridged.
