Just finished Groundwork and Critique of Practical Reason. Are there any major off-shoots of Kantian styled ethics that are noteworthy? There's about 25 flavours of utilitarianism so I figured it was worth asking.

Jacobi is seriously underrated.
>We need faith to accept the existence of the external World, unless we are forced into sollipsism/external World skepticism

The main contemporary offshoot would be Kantian constructivism, stuff like Korsgaard and Velleman. If you're interested, take a look at Korsgaard's book Self-Constitution. Thomas Nagel's ethics are also Kant-inspired with a bit of their own spin (mainly Nagel's emphasis on the subjectivity/objectivity interaction and things like his views about supererogation). Some of that stuff is in The View From Nowhere, but he's also got other books on morality that I've not read where he talks about ethics.

John Rawls and Robert Nozicks books "A theory of justice" and "Anarchy, state and utopia" are both inspired by kantian philosophy. Especially Nozick.

(Part 2) I forgot to add this but I think the 19th century neo-Kantians tried to extract a form of socialism out of Kant's ethics somehow, so I guess there's that to consider. Lastly, you could say the German Idealists were relatively dependent on Kant's ideas so maybe their own ethics sort of count as offshoots of Kant, but that depends on how you see it.
