Abstract
Abstract This chapter focuses on moral motivation, virtue, and what it means to have a Kantian good will. For Kant, a person with a good will is committed to morality in a way that means that we can always count on them to do the right thing, no matter what temptations they face or what pressures they are under. It is that commitment that distinguishes the truly good person from the rest of us. And this commitment is what Kant means when he talks about having a good will. A person with a good will has a commitment to doing what is right because it is right, a commitment that takes the form of acting for morally good reasons. Kantian virtue is strength in living up to this commitment.
