Kant lived what some said to be a remarkable life; his philosophical work includes critique or practical reason and fundamental principles of metaphysic morals (79).

The key factor in this situation with Kant would ask if we did this action without any thought. Because Kant heavily argues that a moral person has to be rational‚ the thought process that you went through to arrive to the action is needed and very important.

He believes that "hard facts"
