Duty, Virtue and Practical Reason in Kant's Metaphysics of Morals is the new degree scroll of the 'Reason and Normativity' collection, promoted by the Institute for Culture and Society (ICS) of the University of Navarra. Its author is Vicente de Haro Romo, professor at the School of Philosophy of the Universidad Panamericana (Mexico), and it is published by OLMS, a house publishing house of international academic prestige that distributes in Germany, Switzerland, USA and France.

This is a monographic study that comments on the doctrine of virtue as a refutation of the 'formalist' view of Kant's Ethics. That doctrine offers Kant's application of the categorical imperative and, in addition, recognizes the conditions of moral motivation and, in general, of human action. Thus, the book sample Kant's doctrine of virtue as a set of principles worthy of further philosophical consideration.

The chapters that make up the volume are 'Ends, Maxims and Duties', 'The Transition from the Critique of Reason internship to the Doctrine of Virtue', 'The Doctrine of Virtue', 'The Duties of Virtue' and 'Methodology of Virtue'.

The collection 'Reason and Normativity' was promoted by the project 'Natural law and rationality internship' of the ICS, which from this course is integrated in 'Emotional culture and identity' as a subproject, with the degree scroll "Vínculos, emociones y racionalidad internship". This is a series edited by Ana Marta González, principal investigator of project, and Professor Alejandro G. Vigo.
