Paul Guyer's Kant on Freedom, Laws, and Happiness is acollection of essays written over a period of ten years on the roles of freedom, reason, law, and happiness in Kant's practical philosophy. The centrality of these concepts has always been acknowledged, but Guyer proposes a different way to understand their interconnections. Kant extols respect for moral law and conformity to moral principle for its own sake while at the same time celebrating the value human freedom and autonomy. Guyer sees tensions between these two poles of Kant's practical philosophy-obedience to law and the value of freedom. He argue: " A profound paradox can be avoided only if it can be shown that Kant intended obedience to universal law to be mandatory solely as the necessary condition for realization of human freedom and through that freedom a systematic and unselfish distribution of happiness among all persons" and that "the sheer fact of adherence to universal law is not an end in itself but is rather the means to the realization of the human potential for autonomy or freedom in both choice and action" (p.1).
