Anthropologie und Moral: Affekte, Leidenschaften und Mitgef#x000FC;hl in Kants Ethik

by Anna Wehofsits

Overview

Ausgezeichnet mit dem Förderpreis der Freiburger Kant-Stiftung 2016

Anna Wehofsits’ Studie zu Kants moralischer Anthropologie untersucht die Realisierungsbedingungen moralischen Handelns. Die historische Rekonstruktion und systematische Diskussion dieser Bedingungen zielt auf ein erweitertes Verständnis der Kantischen Ethik: Moralische Charakterbildung nach Kant ist nicht auf die Entwicklung rationaler Fähigkeiten beschränkt, sondern schließt die Entwicklung emotionaler Fähigkeiten ein, den verantwortlichen Umgang mit emotionalen Dispositionen und ihre gezielte Kultivierung.

From the Publisher

Working like a tapestry artist, McSherry pulls out key threads in the life and death of Mickey McDonald in this incredibly detailed, well-rendered chronicle of a national crime figure…Encapsulating two murder trials, a liquor truck hijacking, bank robberies and a sensational three-man escape in 1947 from Kingston Penitentiary, this remarkable story of a life of crime was one of the most compelling books I’ve ever read.
