Critique of Practical Reason - Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant's "Critique of Practical Reason" delves into his moral philosophy, building upon the foundations laid in his earlier work, "Critique of Pure Reason." First published in 1788, this influential text explores the principles of deontological ethics, which emphasize the inherent rightness or wrongness of actions, independent of their consequences. Kant's ideas have profoundly shaped modern ethical thought, particularly the notion of moral absolutism, where certain actions are deemed universally right or wrong.
