Problems of Moral Philosophy

О книге: This volume makes Adornos lectures on the problems of moral philosophy available for the first time to English-speaking readers. It is one of several volumes of Adornos unpublished writings which are currently being published in Germany, and which will be published in translation by Polity. The book is organized around an account of Kants moral theory, and introduces most of the central topics of Adornos far more difficult work Negative Dialectics. He examines concepts such as the primacy of practical reason, the relation between freedom and experience, and the desubstantialization of moral thought. These and other concepts are discussed in an accessible and entertaining style which is very different from the rest of Adornos published work. Problems of Moral Philosophy will be an important resource for scholars drawing on Adornos thought, and its nature as a lecture course makes it a very useful and accessible introduction for students to Adornos ideas about moral philosophy. It will be of great interest to those working in philosophy and in social and political thought.
