    analyses of why human beings need to appeal to reason to establish beauty‚ rather than experience. He says that aesthetic judgements or what he likes to call judgements of taste are rooted in a person’s subjective feelings‚ but also contain universality. Kant believes our feelings of beauty are immensely different from our feelings of pleasure and moral goodness because they are disinterested.

    Kant in “Hotel Rwanda” The Ethical theory of Emmanuel Kant is based on the idea that morality is based on good will‚ not happiness. Kant believed that as long as a person had good intent‚ then the action was also good no matter what the outcome was. If a person chose to do something good‚ but for unmoral reasons rather than out of respect for the law‚ then they did not have good intent and therefore the action is bad‚ even if it has good consequences. To determine whether or not a persons intent

    done in order to mitigate further suffering. However‚ if one looks at Kant’s Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals‚ it is evident that this type of analysis is flawed. According to Kant‚ the rightness or wrongness of an action does not rest upon the particulars of the situation. Therefore‚ if one were to use Kantian ideas‚ Mr. Snelling’s actions cannot be deemed morally right only based on the unique circumstances of his situation. With this‚ it is therefore necessary to further look at the complexities

    Immanuel Kant concerns himself with deontology‚ and as a deontologist‚ he believes that the rightness of an action depends in part on things other than the goodness of its consequences‚ and so‚ actions should be judged based on an intrinsic moral law that says whether the action is right or wrong – period. Kant introduced the Categorical Imperative which is the central philosophy of his theory of morality‚ and an understandable approach to this moral law. It is divided into three formulations. The

The fundamental difference presented

    contrasting the moral philosophies of David Hume and Immanuel Kant. Although I will be discussing several ideas from each philosopher the main theme of my paper will be dealing with the source of morality. It is my opinion that Hume’s sentiment based‚ empirical method is more practical than the reason based‚ a priori theory of Kant. According to Kant moral law must be known a priori‚ and must be able to be universally applied to all beings. Kant asserts that empirical explanations of morality may only
