'A Kantian Theory of Moral Character is a major contribution to the literature on Kantian accounts of virtue and character. Julia Peters masterfully engages with Kant's texts and recent scholarship and highlights the demand of the unconditional moral law and Kant's focus on 'the moral disposition in conflict.' She presents a strong case for a distinctive and original Kantian theory of moral character as a regulative idea for action, a guide which we can never fully embody.' Patrick Kain, Purdue University
