Praktische Lust - Kant über das Verhältnis von Fühlen, Begehren und praktischer Vernunft

Kant ascribed an important role to pleasure in human action. This study provides a comprehensive interpretation of Kant’s concept of practical pleasure based on a detailed analysis of his theories of feelings, desire, and practical consideration. In this way, the author not only provides a new perspective on Kant’s action theory and moral philosophy, but also elucidates Kant’s contribution to resolving key problems in the theory of emotions.
