Synopsis

Kant's pre-critical period is commonly considered to run from 1747 when he published "On the True Estimate of Living Forces" to the appearance in 1770 of his inaugural dissertation, "On the Form and Principles of the Sensible and the Intellectual Worlds". It is in this period that the origins of his later system of ethical thought can be found. Yet there is little literature in English dealing with this early period and many secondary sources deal only with his later ethical works, the "Critique of Practical Reason" and "Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals". This text aims, in presenting Kant's pre-critical writings, to show that ethics was a central preoccupation for Kant long before the second "Critique". It draws together materials not only from Kant's early published writings but also from unfinished fragments, lecture notes and correspondence. The result is an investigation of the development of Kant's moral philosophy prior to the publication of the first "Critique". The work aims to make the reader re-examine Kant's ethical thought as a whole, and in doing so, find a more rational interpretation.
