About the book

"Kant's Critique of Practical Reason is an acknowledged masterpiece of Western philosophy. The way H. W. Cassirer's translation uncoils Kant's attempt at reconciling determinism with moral freedom will enable serious students of philosophy - and theology - to engage anew not only with this theme but also with Kant's whole treatment of God, freedom, and immortality."--BOOK JACKET.

Subjects: Ethics, Reason, Practical reason, Morale, Raison, Theory of Knowledge
