Höffe's work (like that of his contemporary, Jürgen Habermas), brings into relief the relevance of these German discussions to their counterparts in English-language circles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, originally published in Germany in 1990 and expanded since, Höffe proposes an extended and original interpretation of Kant' philosophy of law, and social morality. Höffe articulates his reading of Kant in the context of an account of modernity as a \"polyphonous project,\" in which the dominant themes of pluralism and empiricism are countered by the theme of categorically binding moral principles, such as human rights. Paying equal attention to the nuances of Kant's texts and the character of the philosophical issues in their own right, Höffe ends up with a Kantianism that requires, rather than precludes, a moral anthropology and that questions the fashionable juxtaposition of Kant and Aristotle as exemplars of incompatible approaches to ethical and political thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Otfried Höffe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0271021594\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780271021591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penn State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.12h x 6.04w x 0.85d","brand":"Otfried Höffe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46906550026495,"sku":"9780271021591","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_11d34610-389a-4f94-bbc8-11e389a1930d.jpg?v=1748770755","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/categorical-principles-of-law-otfried-hziffe-9780271021591","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
