Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals

This expanded edition of James Ellingtons preeminent translation includes Ellingtons new translation of Kants essay Of 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: that it requires us to tell the truth even in the face of disastrous consequences.
