Description

Explore the complex moral arguments of Immanuel Kant in this detailed monograph from Cambridge University Press. The book provides a deep examination of Kant's 1797 essay, 'On a Supposed Right to Lie from Love of Humanity.' This work analyzes the famous ethical dilemma where Kant argues that one must reply truthfully even when a lie might save a friend from a killer. Jens Timmermann investigates the historical background of the essay, including the provocations from Benjamin Constant and translator Carl Friedrich Cramer. The text traces the history of this specific moral example, which has been discussed by notable figures such as Augustine, Fichte, and Johann David Michaelis. This volume is the first monograph to offer such a comprehensive study of the nuances found in Constant's version of the debate.
