Immanuel Kant’s Principles of the Metaphysics of Ethics is a hard read‚ but filled with lots of ideas and meanings. Some of the main ideas of this reading were concerned with moral law‚ and duty to oneself. Kant says that morality should be judged and analyzed first before being implemented into certain situations. Any moral law that we create influences the way we think and act towards others. What I think he was saying is that every human being has the potential to create their own morality‚ but

In his work "Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals" Kant explores the question of morality and outlines its main principles.

Kant starts his reflections from making a claim that morality can in no way emanate from experience and that there has never been an experience of purely moral actions‚ because actions base

thinking involves a knowledge of the science of logic‚ including the skills of logical analysis‚ correct reasoning‚ and understanding statistical methods. Critical thinking‚ however‚ involves more than just an understanding of logical procedures. A good critical thinker must also understand the sources of knowledge‚ the nature of knowledge‚ and the nature of truth. But first‚ what is the science of logic?

Remaining Issues with the Discourse on Metaphysics There are still some problems with the position Leibniz holds‚ the most concerning being a failure to establish or support man’s choice as something besides a possible‚ though certain‚ motion of their essence. Their actions may be accidentally determined by this internal nature‚ but this affords no more freedom than the existence of alternate possibilities. Something yet more concerning: while Leibniz perceives action completely determined by nature

There is no doubt that once the word autism enters a couple’s life‚ life changes. We look back upon the pregnancy and how we awaited the birth of this child with great anticipation and how we only hoped for a "healthy child." After a couple of years‚ it is discovered that this wish was not granted and autism has now entered the picture. The marriage is still there‚ the child is still there but now autism is there as well‚ almost as another person in the family unit. What is the effect on marriage

Metaphysics is the area of philosophy that attempts to understand the basic nature of all reality‚ whether it is seen or indistinguishable we try to relate to our existence.

In Kant’s Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals‚ he sets forth to explain the relationship between actions and their moral worth. In this paper‚ I will begin by explaining what determines the moral worth of actions based on the three types of motivations‚ distinguishing particularly between actions from duty versus in accordance with duty. Then‚ I will explain the seeming contradiction set forth in Kant’s examples of actions from duty. Finally‚ I will describe how Kant believes that most actions
