A little about the book
Kant asks what would make an action morally worthy and what sort of principle could bind a person regardless of what they want. His examples put motives and the way people formulate their own rules under examination.
The argument changes from familiar judgments about duty to a more abstract defence of freedom. Mark where that shift occurs and return to the examples when the terminology becomes demanding.
