Metaethical constructivism is one of the main movements within contemporary metaethics - especially among those with Kantian inclinations. But both the philosophical coherence and the Kantian pedigree of constructivism are hotly contested. In the first half of this article, I first explore the sense in which Kant's own views might be described as constructivist and then use the resulting understanding as a guide to how we might think about Kantian constructivism today. Along the way, I hope to suggest that a fairly diverse range of views within contemporary metaethics - including some without any explicit allegiance to Kant - may be thought of as pursuing a version of the resulting strategy
