“…The fact that Kant arguably responds to both these charges separately indicates that even if he was concerned with the practicality of the categorical imperative elsewhere, he was not so concerned with the Groundwork. For discussion of Kant’s response to Pistorius see Guyer (2021) and Walschots (2021).…”

On the currently dominant reading of the Groundwork, Kant’s derivation of ‘imperatives of duty’ exemplifies a decision procedure for the derivation of concrete duties in moral deliberation. However, Kant’s response to an often-misidentified criticism of the Groundwork by G. A. Tittel suggests that Kant was remarkably unconcerned with arguing for the practicality of the categorical imperative as a decision procedure. Instead, I argue that the main aim of Kant’s derivation of imperatives of duty was to show how his analysis of the form of moral judgement is indeed presupposed in the four types of moral imperative that philosophers of his time recognized.

This volume consists of thirteen chapters examining the historical background and philosophical content of Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten’s Elements of First Practical Philosophy (Initia philosophiae practicae primae, 1760) and its relation to the work of Immanuel Kant. All the contributors are well-established scholars and the chapters, taken together, provide a comprehensive, balanced, and indeed ground-breaking treatment of this neglected aspect of classical German philosophy. Like its predecessor, Kant and Baumgarten on Metaphysics (OUP, 2018), this volume aims to capitalize on the editors’ recent, first-ever translation into English of two key texts, namely, Baumgarten’s Elements and Kant’s Reflections on Moral Philosophy (Bloomsbury, 2020).
