Allen Wood’s Kant 's Ethical Thought is a major contribution to the under standing of Kant’s ethics. Rejecting the common picture of this ethics as one of stern duty and rigid rules, Wood’s Kant emerges as an Enlightenment thinker and uncompromising egalitarian, whose ethical thought is grounded in two insights derived from Rousseau but developed in distinctive ways. One is the principle of the intrinsic dignity of all human beings, and the other is the recognition that human beings, in their historically developed social condition, go to great lengths to deny this equality and dignity.’ By emphasizing the latter point, Wood brings to the forefront the empirical, anthropological basis of Kant’s ethical thinking. Although the a priori origin of the principle of morality is not denied, Wood argues that Kant’s insistence on this apriority is to be understood, at least in part, in connection with his empirically based and decidedly unflattering view of human nature.
