- Evaluation of Kant
- Strenghts
- People generally have the same ideas about morality so having an absolutist ethical theory would please most people.
- Based on reason
- Has a clear criteria for what is moral
- Shows respect for human life
- Distinguishes between what is best and inclination
- Weaknesses
- Putting duty above human emotion makes us cold and distant.
- Duty alone is not a good enough motive
- It's human nature to consider the consequences before acting
- Duties may conflict
- Not everyone is capable of being rational
- Only works if everyone lives in the kingdom of ends
- Strenghts
