What were the major effects on different groups of people, including nobles, priests, peasants, urban workers, slaves and women? Those are three different questions with only partial overlap. How much attention should you give to each point? I chose to give less attention to the last. But then, the grading guidelines—by peers—don't even ask if the essay addressed the question. The closest they come is to address comprehension of the course material. Here's the essay: The collection

What is ‘Metaphysics of Morals’? For thirty years, Kant intended to entitle his system of ethics ‘Metaphysics of Morals.’ In discussing the Metaphysics of Morals, I will discuss Allan Wood’s article in Mark Timmons’s volume Kant's Metaphysics of Morals: Interpretative Essays; Woods presents a thoughtful interpretation that might be a clue for our discussion of emptiness charge.
