A defining work of moral philosophy, Kant’s Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals has been influential to an extent far beyond what its modest length (roughly 75 pages) might suggest. It is also a famously difficult work, concerned with propounding universal principles rather than answering practical questions. As even professional philosophers will admit, first-time readers are not alone in finding some of its arguments perplexing. Offering an introduction that is accessible to students and relevant to specialized scholars, Dieter Schönecker and Allen Wood make luminously clear the ways the Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals forms the basis of our modern moral outlook: that all human beings have equal dignity as ends in themselves; that every rational being is a self-governing agent whose morality freely derives from his or her own will; and that all rational beings constitute an ideal community, bound only by the moral laws they have agreed upon. Schönecker and Wood explain key Kantian concepts of duty, the good will, and moral worth, as well as the propositions Kant uses to derive his conception of the moral law. How the law relates to freedom, and the significance of the free will within Kant’s overall philosophy are rigorously interrogated. Where differing interpretations of Kant’s claims are possible, the authors provide alternative options, giving arguments for each. This critical introduction will help readers of the Groundwork gain an informed understanding of Kant’s challenging but central philosophical work.

Der vorliegende Band widmet sich der Frage, wie die in geisteswissenschaftlichen Texten propagierten Wissensansprüche nicht allein durch rein rationale, logisch rekonstruierbare Argumentationsaufbauten vertreten und plausibilisiert, sondern auch durch soziale und rhetorische Strategien, nämlich durch die Erzeugung von Pathos und durch die Konstruktion unterschiedlicher Formen von wissenschaftlichem Ethos, befördert werden. Diese Strategien sind korreliert mit dem Aufbau von wissenschaftlichen Personae im Text, deren Eigenarten und Funktionen durch literaturwissenschaftliche Textanalyse rekonstruierbar werden. Die Beiträge des Bandes lassen sich jedoch in erster Linie weniger von einem wissenschaftstheoretischen als vielmehr von einem wissenschaftshistorischen Interesse leiten: Sie leisten einen Beitrag zur historischen Epistemologie der Geisteswissenschaften. Gezeigt wird an exemplarischen Konstellationen, wie und warum es bei der Herausbildung und Durchsetzung moderner Geisteswissenschaften zur Herausbildung spezifischer Ethosformen sowie zum Einsatz pathetischer Redeweisen kam.

Forskningsetisk skjønn angår alle forskere. Denne boka diskuterer en rekke viktige problemstillinger om hvordan skjønn bør utøves. Forskningsetisk skjønn angår alle forskere og mange som på andre måter er involvert i forskning. Forskeren bruker skjønn i valg av forskningsspørsmål, metode, fremferd overfor dem det forskes på, sikring av informasjon og formidling av forskningsresultater. Forskningsetiske komiteer og forskningsforvaltning har et spesielt ansvar for både selv å utøve og å tilrettelegge for utøvelse av godt forskningsetisk skjønn. Bidragene i denne boka tematiserer ulike etiske problemstillinger som oppstår i forskning og i forholdet mellom forskning, forskningsvurdering og samfunn. Hva kan og bør tillegges skjønn? Hva kreves av godt skjønn? Og hvordan kan man unngå vilkårlighet i skjønnsutøvelsen? God forskningsetisk skjønnsutøvelse støttes av refleksjon rundt hva skjønnsutøvelsen består i, og hva som skal til for å hjelpe den frem. Boka har som ambisjon å bidra til slik refleksjon. Bidragsytere er Anette Brunovskis, Kristine Bærøe, Jakob Elster, Kjersti Fjørtoft, Hallvard J. Fossheim, Helene Ingierd, Deborah H. Oughton, Knut W. Ruyter og Torkild Vinther.
