- Kant
- Duty + Good Will = a Moral Action
- Absolute, Deontelogical, Analytic, Cognitive, Objective.
- Categorical Imperative: The Opposite to the Hypothetical imperative which is "do X for the sake of Y" Whereas the Categorical imperative is to "Do X for the sake of X"
- There are three steps to fulfil the Categorical Imperative.
- 1) Universalisation of Mazims: Can the act be universilised? If it can - that would mean that everyone would be able to follow.
- 2) Treat all people as an end in themselves, not as a means to an end. This means do not use people for some other purpose. You must do actions if they are Moral and a Moral action is doing your duty with your good will.
- 3) Kingdom of Ends: To fulfll the last two formulas to create a moral society. This is when everyone in society fulfils their duty, commits good will and thus making a moral action. Making a successful society.
- You OUGHT and SHOULD do your DUTY. If you CAN and you SHOULD you OUGHT TO DO IT.
- Duty for Duty's Sake.
- Conflicting Dutys
- Not everyone has the same Morals, the Kingdom of ends is never possible.
- Not in proportion, not everyone will follow it.
- He is Speciest, Humans are the supreme being and we cant talk much about Kant in terms of Genetic Engineering because of this.
- Not everyone has the same Morals, the Kingdom of ends is never possible.
- Humans are the Supreme being. They are able to reason and therefore they are the superior beings. They have the ability to understand what is moral and immoral unlike animals.
- Summon Bonum (ultimate happiness) if we follow all of Kants ethics then we will reach this ultimate happiness.
