Emmanuel Kant
Moral and Ethical theory
Biography
 Immanuel Kant was born on April 22, 1724, in
Kaliningrad, Russia.

 In 1740 Kant entered the University of Königsberg.

 He published science papers, including "General
Natural History and Theory of the Heavens" in 1755.
Biography
 He spent 15 years as a metaphysics lecturer. In
1781, he published the first part of Critique of Pure
Reason.
 He died on February 12, 1804, in Konigsberg, Russia.
Kant’s Theory
 Represent deontological ethics


For him a right action consists solely in an action that is ruled
and justified by a rule or principle.



It was the rational and autonomous conformity of one’s will to
see right the universal moral law



Foundations of Metaphysics of Morals, explains the
philosophical foundation of morality and moral actions.
Kant’s Concepts
Good Will

Nature of
Imperatives

The Notion
of Duty

Morality
Good Will
 Only thing that is good without qualification.
 Other goods like intelligence and health can be
qualified, Good Will is good by virtue because it is the
will to follow the Moral Law.
The Notion of Duty
 Distinction between “I want” and “I ought”.
 Moral actions are not spontaneous, if I see
someone in need of help, I may be inclined
to look the other way, but I will recognize
that my duty is to help.
 Considering only those actions that are
seemingly good according to Kant are
actions that seem good by duty, that are
good to my common sense of duty and for
that they are right.
The Nature of
Imperatives
 Imperatives are commands
 For kant there exist 2:
 Hypothetical Imperatives

 Categorical Imperatives
Hypothetical Imperatives
 If you want you ought. The ought or the duty is
conditioned by your desires, wants and goals.
 Our goals are grounded in SELF-INTEREST
Categorical Imperative
 The general from of DO. (Unconditioned)
 For Kant there is only one imperative command and it
is the Moral Law.

 Divided in 2 formulations
First Formulation
 “Act as if the maxim of your action were to secure
through your will a universal law of nature.”
 Meaning act as if in your will you were defining a
maximum rule for all to follow.
Second Formulation


“Act so that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or
that of another, always as an end and never as a mean.”



See if your actions are using others or affecting others, in the
meaning of never using them as a mean to achieve but always
as an end.
How to follow these
formulations?
 Kant gives some examples to use these formulations
in actual situations, these examples are divided in
duties:
 Duties Toward Oneself: to ensure self preservation
which are perfect (suicide), and for sel-cultivation
which are imperfect (promise-breaking).
 Duties Toward Others: strict and obligation which
are perfect (school work) and beneficence which are
imperfect.
Intrinsic Goodness
 Kant thinks that the only thing that is intrinsically good
is a good will.
 Right action consists solely in the conformity of an
action to a justified rule or principle.
Free Will
 We act morally, and for this to
be the case we must be
free.
 God and life after
death, otherwise morality
would make no sense.
Synthetic A Priori
 We do not follow predetermined laws. However, we
must act according to some laws, otherwise our
actions are random and without purpose.
 Rational beings must determine for themselves a set
of laws by which they will act.
Synthetic A Priori
 These laws are determined by experience.
 The rational being has to determine the synthetic a
priori – the substantive rules that can be applied prior
to experience.
Moral Worth


A person's actions
determine her moral worth.

 Taking in account these
aspects:
 Background
 Basic Idea
 Motivation
 Consequences
 Interpretation
Moral Worth
 One can have moral worth only if one is motivated by
morality.
 “In law a man is guilty when he violates the rights of
others; in ethics he is guilty if he only thinks of doing
so.”
Respect
 Kant brought the notion of respect (Achtung) to the
center of moral philosophy for the first time.
 The proper object of respect is the will. Respecting a
person involves issues related to the will, knowledge
and freedom.
Respect
 Kant sees people as autonomous
eaning that they give themsleves
ther own laws.
 As a person has his own laws; the
disrespct of their laws is not
acceptable in their code.
