Der Mensch ist nicht nur Egoist, sondern auch ein moralisches Wesen. Wie aber kommt unsere Motivation zustande, uns im Alltag moralisch zu verhalten und neben den eigenen Interessen auch diejenigen unserer Mitmenschen zu berücksichtigen? Welche Erklärungsansätze bietet die Moraltheorie von Immanuel Kant? Lässt sich die Kantische Auffassung über die Entstehung der moralischen Motivation mithilfe psychologischer Theorien und Arbeitsmodelle stützen? Und wie könnte das konkret aussehen? Eine umfassende Betrachtung eines altbekannten Problems - mit neuen Interpretationsansätzen.
