    Emmanuel Kant argues that the human understanding of our world is perceived by our experiences and only through them can we gain knowledge.

As children‚ we see things‚ touch things‚ smell things and so on. Gradually‚ we understand the world in which we live in; this is the knowledge of sense-perception

    The philosopher Immanuel Kant would determine the actions of the rescuer upon his deontological theory. The predominant concept behind the moral philosophy of deontology is the categorical imperative‚ which has two distinct varieties that can be found in Kant’s work‚ “Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals”.

    Kant’s theory on deontology is a way of assessing one’s actions. One’s actions are either right or wrong in themselves. To determine if actions are right or wrong we do not look at the outcome in deontology. Instead Kant wants us to look at the way one thinks when they are making choices. Kant believes that we have certain moral duties in regards to one’s actions. It is our moral duty that motivates ones to act. Theses actions are driven either by reason or the desire for happiness. Since happiness is

    There are so many prochoice advocates supporting abortion stating that a mother should have the right to terminate her fetus if she feels incapable of becoming a mother.
