The Critique of Practical Reason (Kritik der praktischen Vernunft in the original German) is the second of Immanuel Kant's three critiques, first published in 1788. It follows on from his Critique of Pure Reason and deals with his moral philosophy.

The second Critique exercised a decisive influence over the subsequent development of the field of ethics and moral philosophy, beginning with Fichte's Doctrine of Science and becoming, during the 20th century, the principle reference point for every moral philosophy of a deontological stamp.
