Wood - Wikipedia .html text/html 2030 223 64 Allen William Wood[1] (born October 26, 1942)[2] is an American philosopher specializing in the work of Immanuel Kant and German Idealism, with particular interests in ethics and social philosophy. Along with Paul Guyer, Wood is general editor of the Cambridge Edition of Kant's Writings in English Translation,[19] having contributed to six volumes.[3] He has also edited Self and Nature in Kant's Philosophy (1984),[20] Hegel: Elements of the Philosophy of Right (1991),[6] Kant: Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals (2002),[8] Fichte: Attempt at a Critique of All Revelation (2010),[21] and the Cambridge History of Philosophy in the Nineteenth Century (1790-1870), with Songsuk Susan Hahn (2012).[22] Wood edited and produced his own translation to Kant's Groundwork to the Metaphysics of Morals,[8] which is the book he always uses to introduce Kantian ethics to students, and the only text he teaches in general course on ethical theory.[18] He has suggested that "the first fifty times I read the Groundwork I did not understand it at all, but accepted many of the common errors, because they were easy to commit and had become hallowed by generations of misreading by others."[23] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-2904.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-2904.txt
