Grounding for the metaphysics of morals ; with, On a supposed right to lie because of philanthropic concerns

Authors:Immanuel Kant, James W. Ellington

Summary:This expanded edition of James Ellington's preeminent translation includes Ellington's new translation of Kant's essay Of a Supposed Right to Lie Because of Philanthropic Concerns in which Kant replies to one of the standard objections to his moral theory as presented in the main text: that it requires us to tell the truth even in the face of disastrous consequences.
