Critique of Practical Reason

The "Critique of reason">Practical Reason," written by philosopher Immanuel Kant, examines how we make moral decisions. Kant argues that reason should guide our actions, and moral principles should be universal, meaning that everyone should act in ways that could be accepted as a standard for all. He emphasizes the importance of duty and the moral law within us, suggesting that genuine moral actions are driven by a sense of obligation rather than personal desires or outcomes. This work establishes a foundation for understanding ethics that values reason and moral duty over mere consequences.
