Chalk one up for the consequentialist, I suppose
I’ve been reading around philosophy lately, and I like these thin little Hackett texts since they’re a good reference if you want to read in the primary texts. However, for me it has been a bit hit or miss. I really liked the Rousseau and Descartes I read. But this one didn’t do it for me. I was already aware of the categorical imperative prior to reading this book, but it was a long read for a book under a hundred pages. I don’t want to lay blame at the foot of the translator, but I’m guessing that whatever early modern version of the German Kant was writing in has the same sort of limits as the contemporaneous English plus it’s a philosophic text which is not well known for being easy to read. Kant writes in these long paragraphs which don’t really flow so in the end I know about as much as the categorical imperative now as I did when I picked the book up. Chalk one up for the consequentialist, I suppose. The introduction was good, at least.
