- Kant
- He is an absolutist and searches for Absolutist rules
- His argument is a priori because it has no proof, just logic
- Universal Law Principle: No one should do anything that they would not accept as universal law for everyone in every situation
- Good will and duty
- "Nothing can be taken as good without qualification, except good will."
- Good will is doing an action because it is your duty to do that action.
- Duty is the highest and purest of goods because it is devoid of human emotion.
- "Duty involves freely choosing the action."
- He believed an action should be based on an intention and not it's consequences.
- Imperatives
- An imperative is something that should be done.
- Catergorical imperative, doing something out of duty, regardless of result
- "Act as if the maxim of your act were to become by your own will a universal law of nature"
- Hypothetical imperative: doing something in order to achieve a result
- “The hypothetical imperative represents the practical necessity of a possible action as means to something that is willed”
