The greatest good is central to Kantian philosophy. Kant understands the greatest good a world in which all people were both virtuous and happy as the overarching goal of rational behavior. This study provides, for the first time, an in-depth exploration of the connection between the categorical imperative and the greatest good, offering a new perspective on Kant's concept of practical rationality.
