Jens Timmermann is Reader in Moral Philosophy at the University of St Andrews. He was trained as an ancient philosopher but now largely works on Kant\u2019s ethics, political philosophy and philosophy of law. Recent publications include a volume on Kant\u2019s \u201cCritique of Practical Reason\u201d (edited jointly with Andrews Reath), a German-English edition of Kant\u2019s \u201cGroundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals\u201d and an article on the possibility of moral conflict in Kantian ethics. He is currently interested in Kant\u2019s account of irrational action, in his theory of sympathy and in the notorious essay on the \u201cAlleged Right to Lie\u201d.
