In Kant's Human Being, Robert B. Louden continues and deepens avenues of research        first initiated in his highly acclaimed book, Kant's Impure Ethics. Drawing on a        wide variety of both published and unpublished works spanning all periods of Kant's        extensive writing career, Louden here focuses on Kant's under-appreciated empirical        work on human nature, with particular attention to the connections between this body        of work and his much-discussed ethical theory. Kant repeatedly claimed that the        question, "e;What is the human being"e; is philosophy's most fundamental question, one        that encompasses all others. Louden analyzes and evaluates Kant's own answer to his        question, showing how it differs from other accounts of human nature.This collection        of twelve essays is divided into three parts. In Part One (Human Virtues), Louden        explores the nature and role of virtue in Kant's ethical theory, showing how the        conception of human nature behind Kant's virtue theory results in a virtue ethics        that is decidedly different from more familiar Aristotelian virtue ethics programs.          In Part Two (Ethics and Anthropology), he uncovers the dominant moral message in        Kant's anthropological investigations, drawing new connections between Kant's work        on human nature and his ethics. Finally, in Part Three (Extensions of Anthropology),        Louden explores specific aspects of Kant's theory of human nature developed outside        of his anthropology lectures, in his works on religion, geography, education ,and        aesthetics, and shows how these writings substantially amplify his account of human        beings.Kant's Human Being offers a detailed and multifaceted investigation of the        question that Kant held to be the most important of all, and will be of interest not        only to philosophers but also to all who are concerned with the study of human        nature.
