The philosopher Immanuel Kant describes his practical philosophy or the field of philosophy in which it operates as the metaphysics of morals .

Kant divides philosophy into empirical and pure (that is, a priori working) philosophy. The latter consists of logic , which deals with the forms of inference, and of metaphysics, which deals with objects of the mind . The metaphysics of morals is thus that part of metaphysics that deals with the basic rational concepts of morality, as opposed to an empirically proceeding ethics, which Kant calls practical anthropology .

Kant has published three works on his moral philosophy as defined in this way, two of which (in addition to the Critique of Practical Reason ) have the term Metaphysics of Morals as their titles: The Foundation for the Metaphysics of Morals (1785) and The Metaphysics of Morals (1797).
