Kritik Der Praktischen Vernunft. Grundlegung Zur Metaphysik Der Sitten by Immanuel Kant
A philosophical defense of morality that locates moral authority in practical reason and the good will, claiming that the only unconditionally good thing is a will that acts from duty; it formulates the categorical imperative as the supreme formal principle of ethics—requiring that one act only on maxims that could be willed as universal law and that persons be treated as ends in themselves—and argues that moral obligation arises from autonomy rather than consequences, while also introducing practical postulates (freedom, the immortality of the soul, and a moral order beyond empirical life) needed to make sense of moral responsibility and the pursuit of the highest good.
