In this essay I will present an argument to show that Kantian Deontology is not a plausible moral theory because the two fundamental principles from Kant’s Categorical Imperatives are unable to account for the permissibility of certain acts that would otherwise be considered immoral. This would discredit the usefulness of Kant’s theory as a moral guideline because individuals would then be able to commit acts - those of which would be considered immoral according to considered moral judgements -

Many issues in business ethics focus on the meaning and scope of the notion; duty of care.
