Immanuel Kant's Kritik Der Praktischen Vernunft by Immanuel Kant
A systematic account of morality grounded in practical reason that argues the only intrinsically good thing is a good will acting from duty under the categorical imperative; moral obligations are derived from autonomy and respect for the moral law rather than from inclinations or consequences. It defends freedom as a necessary postulate for moral responsibility and introduces practical postulates—freedom, immortality, and God—as rational necessities for conceiving the highest good, where virtue and happiness can be reconciled. The work distinguishes pure practical reason from empirical motives and explains how the moral law issues universal, unconditional commands that confer dignity on rational agents.
