The Metaphysics of Morals is Kant's major work in applied moral philosophy in which he deals with the basic principles of rights and of virtues. It comprises two parts: the "Doctrine of Right," which deals with the rights that people have or can acquire, and the "Doctrine of Virtue," which deals with the virtues they ought to acquire. Mary Gregor's translation, revised for publication in Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy, is the only complete translation of the whole text. It includes extensive annotation on Kant's difficult and sometimes unfamiliar vocabulary. A new introduction by Roger Sullivan sets the work in its historical and philosophical context.
Having the resources to practice such beneficence as depends on the goods of fortune is, for the most part, a result of certain human beings being favored through the injustice of the government, whic introduces an inequality of wealth that makes others need their beneficence. Under such circumstances, does a rich man's help to the needy, on which he so readily prides himself as something meritorious, really deserve to be called beneficence at all?" (查看原文)
Someone who is rich (has abundant means for the happiness of others, i.e., means in excess of his own needs) should hardly even regard benefcence as a meritorious duty on his part, even though he also puts others under obligation by it. The satisfaction he derives from his beneficence, which costs him no sacrifice, is a way of reveling in moral feelings. He must also carefully avoid any appearance of intending to bind the other by it; for if he showed that he wanted to put the other under an obligation (which always humbles the other in his own eyes), it would not be a true benefit that he rendered him. Instead, he must show that he is himself put under obligation by the other's acceptance or honored by it, hence that the duty is merely something that he owes, unless(as is better) he can p... (查看原文)

越发感觉法哲学确实是理解德国古典哲学家整个学说的一个很好的视角，哲学家的方法的优势与缺陷都在其中表露无遗

可以说是读完了，中间列公式的小几章没读。康德的人类现实生活指南，比Groundwork concrete太多，所以好读一些，但也更容易找到空隙反驳。我不免想：他一定认识到纯粹的理性世界与现实世界存在不可磨灭的鸿沟，甚至世界上都没有几个完全在他的意义上道德的人，但他为什么仍孜孜不倦地提出道德律令、为每个生活领域谱写指导？我认为这是一个具有悲剧色彩的、自我降临的使命，需要很多悲天悯人的关怀。
