Kant: Ethical Philosophy: Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals, and, Metaphysical Principles of Virtue, With, "On a Supposed Right to Lie Because of Philanthropic Concerns"

This expanded edition of James Ellington's preeminent translations of *Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals and Metaphysical Principles of Virtue* includes his new translation of Kant's essay On a Supposed Right to Lie Because of Philanthropic Concerns, in which Kant replies to one of the standard objections to his moral theory, as presented in the main text of *Grounding*, that it requires us to tell the truth even in the face of harmful consequences.
