Il bene, la ragion pratica e il giudizio morale. Interrogativi kantiani sull'etica di Descartes

Descartes' ethics is based on the notion of valuing and is extremely interesting as an example of the search for a faculty of moral judgment distinct from theoretical and scientific reason. This might have generated the idea in modern moral philosophy that ethics is not the realm of reason but of passions. On the contrary, Kant highlighted an understanding of reason that recovered Aristotelian elements and defined a clear and autonomous role for practical rationality.
