Although the name of the course may seem like a contradiction, as Kant’s Ethics is usually defined as “formalist,” as <br>
we will see in this course, it is perfectly permissible to speak about material ethics even in relation to Kant. The fact <br> that the principle of ethics, the categorical imperative, is formal does not imply that Kant’s Ethics does not have <br> matter. In this course, we will hence focus on Kant’s late ethical work, the Doctrine of Virtue (the second part of the <br> Metaphysics of Morals), where he explains the matter of his ethics. We will study the relation of this work with his <br> other two much more famous ethical writings, the Groundwork and the Critique of Practical Reason; discuss the <br> division and the structure of his material ethics and also study some of the duties, like the duty of self-knowledge, the <br> negative duty against lying, the duty of gratitude or duties to God.<br> Last update: Kolomý Vojtěch, Mgr., Ph.D. (04.02.2021)
