1 acting on principle Two things, wrote Kant, fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe: the starry heavens above and the moral law within. Many would argue that since Kant s day the study of the starry heavens has advanced while ethics has stagnated, and in particular that Kant s ethics offers an empty formalism that tells us nothing about how we should live. In Acting on Principle Onora O Neill shows that Kantian ethics has practical as well as philosophical importance. First published in 1975, the book is regarded as a classic account and defence of the Kantian ethical position. It addresses Kant s account of reasoning about action, in particular his controversial claim that the Categorical Imperative guides action and is basic to ethics and justice. This second edition offers a substantial new introduction and updated bibliography, and will be valuable for a wide readership in Kant studies and those studying ethics. onora o neill has written extensively on ethics and political philosophy and in particular on Kant. Recent books include A Question of Trust: The BBC Reith Lectures 2002 (Cambridge, 2002), Autonomy and Trust in Bioethics (2002) and Rethinking Informed Consent in Bioethics (with Neil Manson, 2007). She is a cross-bench member of the House of Lords.
