a) Explain with examples Kant’s theory of Categorical Imperative Kantian 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.

Sentiment and Social Intuition David Hume (1711-1776) believes that morality is based on sentiment‚ or feelings and emotions.

“Ethical language is meaningless” Discuss Ethics is concerned with what is right and what is wrong. Meta-ethics however looks at the language‚ it asks “What does it mean to say that something is right or wrong”.

I aim to explore the claim that all ethical language is meaningless by looking at some of

He notes that in every activity one undertakes the ultimate goal is to achieve an end to it in form of happiness/being happy. Every individual item has its own use‚ for humans for instance‚ ultimate good can only be achieved once every aspect of his life is well functioning

served as a springboard for many of the fields studied today‚ such as psychology and traditional science. One of the most primitive and early arguments presented in psychology was the ontological argument: the argument for the existence of a God (Pojman). People wanted to be able to explain the world around them‚ and more importantly people wanted to have direction in their life.
