An Introduction to Kant's Ethics by Roger J Sullivan
This is the most up-to-date, brief and accessible introduction to Kant's ethics available. It approaches the moral theory via the political philosophy, thus allowing the reader to appreciate why Kant argued that the legal structure for any civil society must have a moral basis. This approach also explains why Kant thought that our basic moral norms should serve as laws of conduct for everyone. The volume includes a detailed commentary on Foundations of the Metaphysics of Morals, Kant's most widely studied work of moral philosophy. The book complements the author's much more comprehensive and systematic study Immanuel Kant's Moral Theory (Cambridge, 1989), a volume that has received the highest critical praise. With its briefer compass and non-technical style this new introduction should help to disseminate the key elements of one of the great modern philosophies to an even wider readership.Dr. Roger J. Sullivan received the B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with a thesis in X-ray astronomy. At System Planning Corporation, Arlington, VA, he led analyses of arms control options and nuclear weapons effects. He then contributed to the development of a series of imaging instrumentation radars, which are operated on outdoor and indoor radar ranges. At the Environmental Research Institute of Michigan (now Veridian), Ann Arbor, MI, he served as Program Manager for development of an X/C/L-band polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) carried by a US Navy P-3 aircraft, and led many analyses concerning SAR performance and automatic target recognition. Currently, at the Institute for Defense Analysis, Alexandria, VA, he advises the US government concerning SAR and ground-moving target indication (GMTI) radars on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and performs analyses concerning new radar concepts for ballistic missile defense, air defense, and mine detection.
