![]() ![]() I'm told this was made into a film several years ago, but if you haven't come across that, as I hadn't (still haven't) I urge you to read the book before seeking it out.

He asserts that all human beings can understand this principle intuitively, meaning it requires a priori cognition. He acknowledges he will not be able to establish a complete metaphysics of morals at this time, but he believes he can prove the existence of a “supreme principle of morality” that governs all rational human beings. In the preface, Kant establishes his hopes for his writing. Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals is composed of a preface and three sections. It is the third printing of the revised edition.
