The moral law by Immanuel kant
No Reviews
Book Overview
In The Moral Law, Prichard argues that moral obligations are self-evident and cannot be proven through reasoning or theoretical systems. He rejects the idea that ethics can be grounded in consequences, utility, or metaphysical principles. Instead, he claims that when we truly understand a moral situation, we immediately recognize what we ought to do.
A central target of Prichard’s work is the tradition of ethical theory that tries to “justify” morality through abstract arguments. He believes this approach misunderstands the nature of moral thinking, which is direct and intuitive rather than derived from general principles.
The essays emphasize moral perception over moral theory, suggesting that ethical knowledge comes from practical awareness rather than philosophical systems.
