Der ewige Streit um das Gute

Am I seriously prepared to adopt a philosophy that allows me to do evil? For Kant, that was out of the question. That is why he attributed the greatest certainty to the knowledge of the moral law. Yet other philosophers love to deconstruct precisely this knowledge. This leads to the fundamental question: how must the good be conceived in order for us to regard it as something that binds us? The book offers a journey through the diverse attempts to answer this question or, alternatively, to dismiss the claim of the good as fiction: from Kant via Moore and value ethics to Mackie and the Christian option. It takes the reader into the philosophical struggle for a liveable answer.
