Kantian Philosophy of Morality
|
|
|
Kantian philosophy outlines the Universal Law Formation of the
Categorical Imperative as a method for determining morality of
actions. ...
I agree with the morality based on Kantian principles because
it is strict in its application of moral conduct. ... This picture of morality resonates with my common sense view of
morality. If the widow subsequently commits suicide or commits any
other immoral act as a consequence, that has no bearing on the
morality of the original action in itself. ... Morality is based on
consequences. ... The morality of
telling the lie is on a case by case basis. ... Unlike Kantian philosophy, one is
not bound by an immutable universal law. ... The
problem with this approach is that morality loses any value as a
universal or intrinsic quality. ... Still, the morality is based on
coneztly changing and often unpredictable consequences. The
requirement that one consider all of the consequences of an action and
determine the best possible action through such calculations makes me
reject utilitarianism as a method of determining morality. ... I am willing to accept
that sometimes the moral action is harder to perform, but I am
unwilling to accept that morality rests within the specifics of a
situation and the possible consequences. Therefore, I consider Kants
Universal Law Formation of the Categorical Imperative to be a better
test of morality than Mills Utilitarianism.
