Hello all.

I'm interested to know if anyone can suggest books or articles devoted to criticism of the a priori foundation of Kant's moral theory. I'm finding the solution untenable based on my notion of what is generally thought about a priori (even considering Kant's earlier work) and I'm not convinced that his treatments of the good will, duty, and the hypothetical/categorical imperatives address the situation.

What is it about morality that can be pointed to that is a priori? I remain confused. And it's noted even in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy that Kant vacillated concerning whether morality really has an a priori 'component' or if it's based upon experience. I am preferring the latter and would like to read more about this.

Also, I would love to read comments about this even if they're telling me I'm missing something obvious.

Thanks.
