当这部著作于1960年首次出版时，它立即填补了康德学术的空白。这是第一个完全致力于康德实践理性批判的研究，也是迄今为止对其最实质性的评论。对于学生和学者来说，这一西方哲学文献中的里程碑仍然是完整理解康德哲学不可或缺的帮助。
这篇评论是康德把他关于实践理性的思想编织成一个统一论点的唯一著作。刘易斯·怀特·贝克（Lewis White Beck）对这一论点进行了经典的考察，并熟练地将其置于康德哲学和18世纪道德哲学的背景下。
A Commentary on Kant’s Critique of Practical Reason
When this work was first published in 1960, it immediately filled a void in Kantian scholarship. It was the first study entirely devoted to Kant’s Critique of Practical Reason and by far the most substantial commentary on it ever written. This landmark in Western philosophical literature remains an indispensable aid to a complete understanding of Kant’s philosophy for students and scholars alike.
This Critique is the only writing in which Kant weaves his thoughts on practical reason into a unified argument. Lewis White Beck offers a classic examination of this argument and expertly places it in the context of Kant’s philosophy and of the moral philosophy of the eighteenth century.
