Kant proposes an ethical system in which an individual forms maxim‚ subjective principles of action‚ from which the principle of the categorical imperative is derived. This categorical imperative is the supreme moral law‚ and according to Kant‚ it is absolute. For example‚ a maxim like “I must not lie” might be extrapolated into the imperative “Do not lie” according to Kant’s formulation. However‚ the concept of absolute moral law faces a problem in a case in which multiple moral laws run counter

Throughout this paper‚ I will contrast and compare two moral theories in attempt to uncover what one provides a better argument and can be applied as a universal moral code. The two moral theorists Immanuel Kant and J.S Mill have created two distinctly different theories on morality and how to develop a universal moral code.

Kant starts‚ Groundings for the Metaphysics of Morals‚ by explaining the difference between things that are good‚ and things that are good only with qualification. When it comes to the first type of good there is only one thing that counts‚ good will. Good will is by itself the only thing in the universe that is unconditionally good‚ and incorruptible. Everything else that we perceive as good‚ is not really good on its own and is equally capable of being bad. Wit‚ intelligence‚ and talent are

Kant’s Moral Theory: The Flaws One of the most controversial aspects of Kant’s moral philosophy is his theory regarding the concept of duty. Duty is the moral necessity to perform actions for no other reason than to obey the dictates of a higher authority without any selfish inclination.

The same action can be seen as moral if it is done for the sake of one’s duty but also as not moral (Kant distinguished between immoral and
