Contents:
Summary: The main body of this Element, which explores Kant's theory of conscience, is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on interpreting Kant's ethics. A central argument in this section is that, although many of Kant's statements about conscience may initially seem contradictory, a careful analysis of the context usually resolves these apparent inconsistencies. The second part of the Element addresses philosophical issues within Kantian ethics. The main argument here is that several positions commonly linked to Kantian ethics, such as the rejection of moral luck, the nonaccidental rightness condition, and the concept of the objectively good, are actually inconsistent with Kant's ethical views.
