Kants Moral Philosophy

Immanuel Kant’s moral philosophy emphasizes that actions are morally right if they are done out of duty and follow universal moral principles, not simply based on consequences or personal feelings. He introduces the concept of the "categorical imperative," which means acting in a way that your behavior could be a universal law applicable to everyone. Morality, for Kant, is about respecting others as rational beings and adhering to consistent moral rules, regardless of personal desires. This framework encourages individuals to act ethically based on reason and a sense of duty, promoting fairness and moral integrity.
