The Metaphysik der Sitten is the last systematic presentation of Kantian ethics (after the Grundlegung of 1796, and the Kritik der practischen Vernunft of 1788). It is considered the sum of Kant’s philosophy of law and is used by Kant scholars as a basis for the presentation and interpretation of Kant’s thoughts on law and injustice.
