Metaphysical Elements of Justice: The Complete Text of the Metaphysics of Morals, Part 1 by Immanuel Kant .....John Ladd has made extensive revisions to his original translation of this work, which now comprises the first part of Kant's Metaphysics of
Morals in its entirety. In addition to numerous emendations occasioned by the publication in 1986 of a critical edition of the German text, this new edition reinstates those passages abridged in the previous edition: Kant's discussion of contracts, marriage & the family. In a supplementary introduction written for this edition, Ladd comments on issues raised by the new material, such as the relevance of Kant's conception of marriage to his view of the status of women. An updated bibliography, glossary & index are also provided.
