MAREY, Macarena. The Motivational Significance of Happiness in Kant's Ethics: Some Thoughts on Faviola Rivera Castro's Virtud, felicidad y religión en la filosofía moral de Kant. Anal. filos. [online]. 2017, vol.37, n.1, pp.79-92. ISSN 1851-9636.

In this critical essay, I analyse Rivera Castro's Virtud, felicidad y religión en la filosofía moral de Kant. In this work, the author highlights the significance of happiness in Kant's Ethics, aiming at establishing its relation to virtue. My conceptual and methodological objections are intended to question her fundamental thesis on the scope and specificity of the motivational role happiness plays as component element of the highest good.

Keywords : Kant; Happiness; Virtue; Highest Good; Motivation.
