'This is an absolutely excellent guide to Kant's Groundwork! Although the Groundwork is a formidable text, it is also an essential one for anyone interested in philosophy … Not only is Professor Sedgwick's guide both lucid and accurate, but it also places the Groundwork in the context of Kant's other work.'
