This is a paperback reprint of a monograph on Kant's ethics, which a generally taken to be a formal program with few empirical examples. Louden takes a revisionist approach that emphasizes Kant's usage of empirical studies of human nature together with the more commonly accepted purist program.

This is the first book-length study in any language to examine in detail and critically assess the second part of Kant''s ethics--an empirical, impure part, which determines how best to apply pure principles to the human situation. Drawing attention to Kant''s under-explored impure ethics, this revealing investigation refutes the common and long-standing misperception that Kants ethics advocates empty formalism. Making detailed use of a variety of Kantian texts never before translated into English, author Robert B. Louden reassesses the strengths and weaknesses of Kantian ethics as a whole, once the second part is re-admitted to its rightful place within Kant''s practical philosophy.
