Summary
With “Harmonious Life”, Chul-Woo Lee offers a differentiated and exciting academic discussion of the relationship between happiness and morality in Immanuel Kant. He shows that although happiness plays no role in questions of justification of morality, because Kant justifies morality universally in good will, it becomes ethically relevant again in the question of the meaning of morality and in the highest good as a general way of life. Overall, “Harmonious Life” is philosophically rich in presuppositions and written as a strictly hermeneutic treatise; it is therefore particularly suitable for academic philosophers - but all those who are merely interested in Kant will also find a complex picture of this thinker, who not only thought strictly about the moral law, but also full of hope about the deep bliss of a moral life.
