A Purely Formal Ethical Theory in Kant's Groundwork?
Philosophy and Theology 6 (1):3-20 (1991)
| Abstract | Perhaps the most common criticism of Kant’s ethical theory is that of formalism. In this paper, I propose to deal with that charge as it is applied to the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals. Specifically, this essay clarifies the nature of the charge of formalism, as well as the issue of whether Kant develops an ethical theory in the Groundwork, and whether formalism is a valid criticism of the Groundwork | |||||||||
