    Kants Philisophy On Morality

    Aubrey Rianzares Dagli
    Kant based his ethical philosophy on using reason to decide how to behave. He argued that the only uncontroversially good virtue is having a good will. Kant also distinguished between perfect duties, which are always obligatory, and imperfect duties, which require flexibility in how and when we act. Additionally, Kant proposed the categorical imperative, which commands us to act based on principles that could become universal laws for all people.

    KANTS PHILISOPHY ON MORALITY

    Kant based his ethical philosophy on the idea


    that reason should be used to decide how
    people will behave. He did not attempt to
    recommend concrete action but advised that
    reason should be used to decide how to behave.
    1. GOOD WILL AND DUTY

    In addition, to Kant, good will is a wider


    conception than the will of obligation. Kant
    based the idea of obligation on ethical law. Kant
    started his ethical philosophy by arguing that
    the only virtue that can be un controversially
    good is good will.
    2. PERFECT AND IMPERFECT DUTIES
    The perfect duty is always true. There seems to
    be a perfect duty to tell the truth, so we must
    never lie. Imperfect duty requires flexibility.
    Beneficence is an imperfect duty because we are
    not obligated to be absolutely helpful at all
    times, but should choose the times and places in
    which we are.
    3. CATEGORICAL
    IMPERATIVE
    Categorical imperative command unconditionally.
    Irrespective of our wishes or desires, a categorical
    imperative binds us as everyone has a
    responsibility not to lie, regardless of conditions
    and even though it is in our interest to do so.
    4. UNIVERSALIZABILITY
    When anyone acts, it's a maxim, or a principle.
    For Kant, an act is only permissible if one can
    have the principle that allows an action to be
    the universal law by which everybody acts. Kant
    argued that morality was the objective law of
    reason: just as objective physical laws involved
    physical action. Objective rational law requires
    rational action.
    5. HUMANITY AS AN END IN ITSELF
    The second interpretation of Kant's Categorical
    Imperative is to view life as an end in itself: “Act
    in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in
    your own person or in the person of another,
    always at the same time as an end and never
    simply as a means.” Kant argued that rational
    beings should never be viewed simply as a means
    to ends; they must also be viewed as ends
    themselves, demanding equal regard for their
    own logical motives.
    KANT'S EXPOUNDED FIVE MORAL PHILOSOPHIES

    (1) The goodwill and duty where he described it


    as one of a kind because it is always good and
    maintain moral values.
    (2) Kant differentiate perfect and imperfect
    duties.
    (3) Kant also made a distinction between
    categorical imperative and hypothetical
    imperative.
    (4) Besides, universalizability is was set off by
    Kant.
    (5) Humanity as an end itself of Kant pointed out
    that a human intrinsic worth does not depend on
    something else, it does not depend on whether a
    person loves his or her life or makes other
    people's lives better.
