- Duty + Inclination
- One's duty is using reason, to apply to good will, which is your right motive, to work out your duty
- Duty has intrinsic value
- The use of reason and good intensions make it intrinsic
- Example of the shopkeeper
- He always gave the correct change because it was his duty to do so
- Act out of respect for the moral law ( DUTY)
- The right thing to do, because he feels he OUGHT to
- He always gave the correct change because it was his duty to do so
- Acting from inclination
- We must guard against automatically praising such people because our inclinations are outwith out control
- Our inclination is our natural tendency to act or feel a particular way
- It's a matter of our genes/ upbringing if we have compassionate inclinations
