In this work, Kant aims to provide a foundation for moral philosophy by outlining the principles of moral reasoning. Kant argues that morality is not based on human desires or emotions, but on a rational understanding of what is universally good. He believes that moral principles should be based on reason alone, rather than on tradition or religious authority. According to Kant, the only thing that is inherently good is a good will, which he defines as a will that acts in accordance with duty. He argues that actions should be judged not on their consequences, but on the motives behind them. Kant also introduces the concept of the categorical imperative, which is a moral principle that applies to all rational beings. The categorical imperative states that we should act only in ways that we would want everyone else to act in similar situations. Overall, \"The Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals\" is a significant work in the history of philosophy and continues to influence contemporary discussions of ethics and morality. It presents a compelling argument for a rational, universal foundation for moral principles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Double 9 Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45557111062841,"sku":"9789358018462","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/4927\/2121\/files\/9789358018462_4b17ca15-976e-4c8a-bbd4-1843642582aa.jpg?v=1742803775"},{"product_id":"the-inequality-of-human-races","title":"The Inequality Of Human Races","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Inequality of Human Races is a book written by Arthur de Gobineau written before 1853.

He argues that scientific hypotheses, while approximative, reveal a universe governed by consistent natural laws, supporting the idea of an infinite and orderly creator. The essays also delve into the ultimate fate of the cosmos and the philosophical implications of scientific discoveries for beliefs about the soul and eternity. Through eloquent argumentation, Fiske invites readers to reconcile empirical inquiry with spiritual reflection, offering a thoughtful perspective on the enduring mysteries of existence and the unseen world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Double 9 Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51406082638137,"sku":"9789374830727","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/4927\/2121\/files\/9789374830727_e1e466e3-884f-4b2a-84e2-e88d62364117.jpg?v=1764757162"},{"product_id":"an-essay-towards-a-new-theory-of-vision","title":"An Essay Towards A New Theory Of Vision","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn essay towards: A new theory of vision examines how the human mind learns to interpret what the eyes receive, arguing that sight alone does not reveal distance, size, or spatial relationships. The work proposes that vision is not a direct gateway to understanding the external world but a process shaped by experience, where the mind connects visual sensations with memories formed through touch and movement. Instead of seeing distance instantly, individuals learn it gradually by comparing what they see with what they have physically interacted with. The essay explains that visual perception develops through repeated associations, allowing the mind to interpret depth, location, and magnitude from subtle cues such as changes in eye position or differences in clarity. The writing emphasizes that perception is not mechanical but an active mental construction influenced by judgment and habit. Through practical examples, the text highlights the idea that the senses do not operate independently but support one another. The work encourages readers to reconsider assumptions about how knowledge enters the mind and suggests that reality is understood through accumulated learning rather than immediate visual truth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Double 9 Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51406082801977,"sku":"9789374834329","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/4927\/2121\/files\/9789374834329_f0613083-85a9-4940-bf1e-2a17a82b25da.jpg?v=1764757167"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.double9books.com\/collections\/philosophy-essays-books.oembed?page=4","provider":"Double9 Books LLP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
