This collection brings together nine previously published essays on Kant’s ethics, plus one new chapter on Kant’s conception of moral evil, by Mark Timmons. The collection is divided into three parts. In Part I, Interpreting the Categorical Imperative, the author explores the complexities of Kant’s universal law formulation of the Categorical Imperative as well as semantic and epistemological elements of its justification. This part includes “Necessitation and Justification in Kant’s Ethics,” “Decision Procedures, Moral Criteria, and the Problem of Relevant Descriptions,” “The Categorical Imperative and Universalizability,” and “The Philosophical and Practical Significance of Kant’s Universality Formulations of the Categorical Imperative.” Part II, Motive, Rightness, and Virtue, explores Kant’s conception of virtue, moral motivation and its relation to moral rightness, the perfect duties to oneself as an animal being, and the complex duty of gratitude. This part features “Motive and Rightness in Kant’s Ethical System,” “Kant’s Grounding Project in the Doctrine of Virtue,” “The Perfect Duty to Oneself as an Animal Being,” and “The Moral Significance of Gratitude in Kant’s Ethics.” Part III, The Psychology of Moral Evil, focuses on Kant’s conception of moral evil and the vices. It includes “Love of Honor, Emulation, and the Devilish Vices in Kant’s Ethics” and “The Good, the Bad, and the Badass: Reflections on Kant’s Conception of Moral Evil.” The collection also includes a thematic introduction
