hieronymusbotched's review
This is one of those books where to rate it is to cheapen it. It’s not been written to be enjoyed, but as a genuine edification (and exploration) of one of the most important aspects of being alive: a universal morality. Hugely worthwhile.

i read this but i didn’t understand most of it so i’m going to read it again in a few months or years, or at least after i’ve done a little more research, because at some parts i just had absolutely no clue what i was reading and got tired of having to read a whole wikipedia page to understand each sentence

kant writes like a freshman really trying to hit that word count . deciphering what he's trying to say is awful because of it.

This was an easier read than I expected, at least for the first two parts, which track the formulations of the categorical imperative with surprising clarity and even some levity. Part 3 is more obscure, and certainly benefits from prior familiarity with the noumena-phenomena distinction and some other key aspects of Kant's thought, although the OWC editorial material provides reasonable explanations of these as they occur.

Although I do not like deontology, I appreciated Kant's thoughts and writing immensely.

i avoided philosophy when i was in college because i was (and still am) not a thinking person lol, but now as an aspiring author, i am so glad that i have read this because i learned a lot when it comes to morals, what is considered good or bad, and the nuances of people's action and the factors that affect them. although the information here are helpful, i find this a little bit hard to read due to translation issues. if not for the footnotes that somehow simplify some passages, i would have much harder time studying. there are also a lot of technical terms that overwhelmed me, jargons that i think a tenured philosophy major would understand, but all in all, this is a good book if you wanna study about philosophy of morals.
i will definitely check more books to deepen my knowledge.

Kant on morality. This is one that everyone should read because it seems like Kant is so right, but of course Kant is never right. Ever. Trust me.
