Louden continues and deepens avenues of research first initiated in his highly acclaimed book, Kant's Impure Ethics. Drawing on a wide variety of both published and unpublished works spanning all periods of Kant's extensive writing career, Louden here focuses on Kant's under-appreciated empirical work on human nature, with particular attention to the connections between this body of work and his much-discussed ethical theory. Kant repeatedly claimed that the question, "What is the human being" is philosophy's most fundamental question, one that encompasses all others. Louden analyzes and evaluates Kant's own answer to his question, showing how it differs from other accounts of human nature. This collection of twelve essays is divided into three parts. In Part One (Human Virtues), Louden explores the nature and role of virtue in Kant's ethical theory, showing how the conception of human nature behind Kant's virtue theory results in a virtue ethics that is decidedly different from more familiar Aristotelian virtue ethics programs. In Part Two (Ethics and Anthropology), he uncovers the dominant moral message in Kant's anthropological investigations, drawing new connections between Kant's work on human nature and his ethics. Finally, in Part Three (Extensions of Anthropology), Louden explores specific aspects of Kant's theory of human nature developed outside of his anthropology lectures, in his works on religion, geography, education, and aesthetics, and shows how these writings substantially amplify his account of human beings. Kant's Human Being offers a detailed and multifaceted investigation of the question that Kant held to be the most important of all, and will be of interest not only to philosophers but also to all who are concerned with the study of human nature. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Kant, Immanuel,|d1724-1804.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79021614 600 17 Kant, Immanuel,|d1724-1804.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/31763 650 0 Human beings.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85080292 650 0 Philosophical anthropology.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85100845 650 7 Human beings.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/962832 650 7 Philosophical anthropology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1060766 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aLouden, Robert B., 1953-|tKant's human being.|dNew York : Oxford University Press, ©2011 |z9780199768714|w(DLC) 2010045102|w(OCoLC)673418476 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=377974|zOnline eBook.
