Mariña's philosophically rich and carefully argued study provides a sympathetic and non-mystical understanding of the trajectory from the Groundwork to the second Critique and is, hence, a welcome contribution to the long-standing debate on the moral law and its controversial justifications in Kant's critical metaphysics of morals.'

Jacqueline Mariña situates Kant's ethical and metaethical arguments in the wider context of his claims in his critical works, convincingly rebutting recent claims that he did not succeed in showing that rational agents are necessarily bound by the moral law, and that he ended up with an empty moral dogmatism. Her book shows that the whole of Kant's critical works, both theoretical and practical, were much more coherent than many interpreters allow.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e1.
