Benjamin Harris’s Reviews > Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals > Status Update

Much better than Hume but not very inspiring. I miss the romanticism/pursuit of virtue/happiness of Plato and Aristotle and Thomas. Kant, while logical, unfortunately divorces any ethics grounded in human flourishing. Whereas Aristotle and Thomas say all men pursue happiness, and happiness is our ultimate end, Kant says our end is found in the fulfillment of duty. It is a dry logic, practical but not livable.
