Kant

IMMANUEL KANTS THEORY Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) discussed m either ethical systems and reasonings. Some were based on a whimsey that the reason is the final authority for morality. In Kants eyes, reason is directly correlated with morals and ideals. roleplayions of any sort, he bankd, must(prenominal)(prenominal)iness be undertaken from a sense of duty dictated by reason, and no fulfil performed for appropriateness or solely in obedience to faithfulness or custom can be regarded as moral. A moral act is an act done for the estimable reasons. Kant would argue that to shuffling a ring for the amiss(p) reason is not moral you might as well not make the promise.You must follow a certain codification in order to find truth croupe your sues. Kant believed that you should share allone with value, dignity, and respect. Our reasoning ability will of all time completelyow us to know what our duty is. Kant describe cardinal types of common commands given by reason the hypothe tical imperative, which dictates a given course of satisfy to pee-pee a specific end and the categorical imperative, which dictates a course of action that must be followed because of its righteousness and necessity.The categorical imperative is the basis of morality and was stated by Kant in these words Act as if the maxim of your action were to become through your will and general natural law. Therefore, before legal proceeding to act, we must decide what detect we need to follow if we were to act, whether we are willing for that rule to be followed by everyone all over. Kant believes that moral rules have no exceptions. It is wrong to turn thumbs down in all situations, veritable(a) those of self-defense. This whimsey comes from the general proposition Law theory.Since we would never insufficiency murder to become a universal proposition law, then it has to be not moral at all. Kant believes killing could never be universal, at that placefore it is wrong in apiece and every situation. There are never any extenuating circumstances, such as self-defense. I believe Kant is right in making certain moral and ethical codes exempt from being a universal law because there shouldnt be different rules for different laws. The rules and laws should apply to every situation. An act is either wrong or right, based on his universality law.For example, giving money to a homeless person vertical to position him/her to leave you alone would be judged not moral by Kant because it was done for the wrong reason. With Kants smell in mind if the consequence of immoral behavior were dealt with in a legal structure, passel would be prosecuted for EVERYTHING since there are no extenuating circumstances. Kants categorical imperative is a tri-dynamic statement of philosophical concept(1) So act that the maxim of you could always hold at the same time as a normal establishing universal law. (2) Act so as to treat humanity, whether in your own person in that of anot her, always as an end and never as a means only. (3) Act according to the maxims if a universally legislative member of a merely potential kingdom of ends. In other words, Kant argues that concomitant action requires conscious thought of the rule governing the action. Whether if everyone should follow that rule, and if the rule is acceptable for universal action, it should be adopted. If the rule is unacceptable, then it should be rejected.In order to understand whether or not an action follows Kants categorical imperative, we must regulate those norms that we wish to be universal laws. We must make the judgment on whether or not universal ethics is possible. I believe that a bit of universality exists throughout the world dont kill your neighbor, be kind to others, do not steal, etc. yet, individual perception of the world by people prevents the fortuity of an all-encompassing universal code of ethics. I believe along with Kant that we should develop a experience and code to helper our fellow man.We all have a duty to treat others the way we want to be treated. The one thing I disagree with is that we should not be punished for doing good whole kit and boodle to those even though we might find ourselves backed into a corner when dealings with these individual problems. overall dealing with Kants theory everyone should be truthful and abide by the universal code. We should follow his theory in treating everyone with value, dignity, and respect. hitherto though everyone should help others, I believe in some situations people have to be persuaded to help even though this goes against Kants beliefs.KantIMMANUEL KANTS THEORY Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) discussed many ethical systems and reasonings. Some were based on a belief that the reason is the final authority for morality. In Kants eyes, reason is directly correlated with morals and ideals. Actions of any sort, he believed, must be undertaken from a sense of duty dictated by reason, and no action perfo rmed for appropriateness or solely in obedience to law or custom can be regarded as moral. A moral act is an act done for the right reasons. Kant would argue that to make a promise for the wrong reason is not moral you might as well not make the promise.You must follow a certain code in order to find truth behind your actions. Kant believed that you should treat everyone with value, dignity, and respect. Our reasoning ability will always allow us to know what our duty is. Kant described two types of common commands given by reason the hypothetical imperative, which dictates a given course of action to reach a specific end and the categorical imperative, which dictates a course of action that must be followed because of its rightness and necessity.The categorical imperative is the basis of morality and was stated by Kant in these words Act as if the maxim of your action were to become through your will and general natural law.

This belief comes from the Universal Law theory.Since we would never want murder to become a universal law, then it has to be not moral at all. Kant believes killing could never be universal, therefore it is wrong in each and every situation. There are never any extenuating circumstances, such as self-defense.

In other words, Kant argues that particular action requires conscious thought of the rule governing the action. Whether if everyone should follow that rule, and if the rule is acceptable for universal action, it should be adopted. If the rule is unacceptable, then it should be rejected.In order to understand whether or not an action follows Kants categorical imperative, we must prescribe tho se norms that we wish to be universal laws.

I believe that a bit of universality exists throughout the world dont kill your neighbor, be kind to others, do not steal, etc. yet, individual perception of the world by people prevents the possibility of an all-encompassing universal code of ethics. I believe along with Kant that we should develop a friendship and code to help our fellow man.We all have a duty to treat others the way we want to be treated.
