Metaphysics of Morals
The Metaphysics of Morals (Die Metaphysik der Sitten, 1797) is a major work of moral and political philosophy by Immanuel Kant. It is not as well known or as widely read as his earlier works, Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals and the Critique of Practical Reason.
The work is divided into two main parts. The first one Science of Right is grounded in republican interpretation of origins of political community as civil society and establishement of positive law. Science of Right is the last example of classical republicanism. The second part Science of Virtue touches issues of moral development of human entity.
