Summary
Intending to someday publish a Metaphysics of Morals, which is a pure moral philosophy completely cleansed of everything that might be empirical, Herr Professor Kant issues this Groundwork in advance, wherein he presents the subtleties that the Metaphysics of Morals unavoidably contains, in order to not mix them up with more accessible doctrines in the future, and wherein he wishes to seek out and establish the most supreme principle of morality, which he considers a business that is separate from every other moral investigation in its purpose.
