  • Inclinations may not match up with moral actions. (11)
  • Maxim: A rule or reason for acting. Every action has one. (1, 4, 4, 5)
  • Perfect duties: Inconsistent to will the maxim to become a universal law e.g. murder, lying. Imperfect duties: Not inconsistent but we would be unable to will the existence of this world e.g. charity (3, 5, 2, 6)
  • Self interest, benevolence, or duty. Kant: should be duty. Shopkeepers. (5, 11)
  • Two basic motivations - Inclination and duty - go against each other. E.g. I want this but I should do that. (1, 4, 4, 11)
  • We set the moral law, as rational creatures. Being rational = being consistent = apply principle of universability to maxim = being moral so rational = moral. (3, 3, 5)
