    Emmanuel Kant argues that the human understanding of our world is perceived by our experiences and only through them can we gain knowledge. Kant’s philosophic question is rooted in the theory of understanding; in short‚ what can we know and how can we know it? Most of our knowledge of the world can be derived from our observation of it. 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 philosophy of moral actions being guided by duty rather than inclination is naturally unappealing‚ but such a response cannot be a determinate of erroneous thought. Immanuel Kant‚ the great German who is considered the central figure of modern philosophy‚ provides a solid argument calling for the normative support of actions being guided by duty rather inclination for the sake of fulfilling the natural purpose of reason. Kant’s ethics‚ which are clearly deontological‚ come under heavy criticism

    ethics is a deontological‚ absolute theory proposed by Immanuel Kant in the late 1700’s. Kant taught that an action could only count as the action of a good will if it satisfied the test of the Categorical Imperative. The categorical imperative is based around the idea to act solely for the sake of duty. For example‚ you should share your sweets because it is a good thing to do; not because it makes you feel good. Consequentially‚ Kant would justify the good feeling you do when you perform a good act
