This volume presents a selection of Robert Stern's work on the theme of Kantian ethics. It begins by focusing on the relation between Kant's account of obligation and his view of autonomy, arguing that this leaves room for Kant to be a realist about value. Stern then considers where this places Kant in relation to the question of moral scepticism, and in relation to the principle of 'ought implies can', and examines this principle in its own right. The papers then move beyond Kant himself to his wider influence and to critics of his work, including Hegel, the British Idealists, and the Danish philosopher and theologian K. E. Logstrup, while also offering a comparison with William James's arguments for freedom. The collection concludes with a consideration of a broadly Kantian critique of divine command ethics offered by Stephen Darwall, arguing that the critique does not succeed. General themes considered in this volume therefore include value, perfectionism, agency, autonomy,
moral motivation, moral scepticism, and obligation, as well as the historical place of Kant's ethics and its influence on thinkers up to the present day.

Industry Reviews

This collection of essay from Bob Stern manifests all the virtues of his writing that those familiar with his work will recognize ... The range of Stern's interests, and the proficiency with which he moves from figure to figure, is remarkable ... Those working on Kantian or Hegelian ethical theory, or those working on obligation more broadly, cannot afford to neglect it. * John Callanan, Journal of Moral Philosophy *
"In addition to his significant contributions to the literature, Stern's work can be similarly commended for its accessibility. Stern writes in a clear and lucid style, and thus his work is to be recommended not just to scholars deeply entrenched in the literature, but also to graduate students or advanced undergraduates seeking a starting point to studying Kant beyond the primary texts." * Maks Sipowicz, Colloquy: Text, Theory, Critique *
"Excellent . . . should appeal to a wide variety of readers . . . clarifying and enriching Sterns view of Kant, but also extending it to address an impressive range of philosophers and issues." * Eric Entrican Wilson, Kantian Review *
