In the articles, “Brad Blanton:Honestly, Tell the Truth,” by Barbara Ballinger and “Rejecting all lies:Immanuel Kant,” by Sissela Bok they both think the same as well except Kant thinks even in life or death situations don’t lie. In the article,”Brad Blanton:Honestly Tell the Truth,” it shows that lying can be very stressful. As Blanton said,”Because it keeps you locked in the jail of your own mind”(Ballinger 7). This shows it can be stressful because since you lie, the truth somewhat wants to come out.
After all the reading and carefully thinking about what Mr. Lasken had requested from his physician it left me with the decision that Dr. Brody should not grant Mr. Lasken request to help end his life. In my discussion, I spoke about the Kantian Ethics and how it applies to the dilemma Dr. Brody was up against. To help end someone’s life purposely, regardless of their involvement, should not be done in the hands of someone else nor should anyone be placed in that situation. I considered both views, and found no favor into helping Mr. Lasken end his life and would be wrong on Dr. Brody behalf. As a physician you are sworn in by Hippocratic Oath and under that you are required in doing right by the patients; make sure all possible attempts
This quote says that lying happens frequently; no one can resist it. It also says lying is deadly, which is also shown in the Bible within the story of Adam and Eve, when the serpent lies to Eve, convincing her to consume the sacred fruit. In modern society, lying is a common practice. A person may lie protect themselves, or to gain something wanted. This may be due to religious diversity or the decay of respect in society.
Previously, I have encountered many people who are extremely passionate and emotional, yet are able to maintain self-control and calmly deliberate. Two of my favorite teachers in high school both exhibited these qualities, but I find myself not completely agreeing with the exact statement Kant makes. Personally, I believe that (depending on the context) having more passion and emotion along with the other qualities can increase the natural worth people attribute to them. This could be because the way that I see the world, is more of an emphasis on the amount of drive a person has; if a person has little passion, that could convey little drive and in a world where we constantly want to increase our knowledge, people with passion and drive. From an intellectual stance – passing
Kant’s Categorical Imperative How does lying violate Kant’s formulation? When a person tells a lie it is often seen as being dishonest and, in some cases, can affect the most important quality in a human, which is the ability to make their own choices. Therefore, with each lie a person tells contradicts a part of them that gives that person a moral worth. For instance, if I was to tell a lie and it lead a person to a decision that they would have otherwise not have chosen, had they known the truth, I would have harmed that person’s human dignity and autonomy. The person doing the lying only robs others of their choices.

There are people that believe, there are absolute moral rule that everyone should follow, no matter what the situation is. Immanuel Kant a philosopher pushed this concept and believed that no one should break moral rules, even if it is to save people. He believed that we will never know the true outcome of anything, so we should always follow moral rules and late fate play its role. But most people don’t believe in this because it seems obvious that breaking some moral rules can have some real benefits from it. Furthermore, it would be impossible to follow every single rule because some rules can contradict to themselves.
What would a Kantian say about the movie? Kantian Ethics or Kant’s Duty Ethics is based upon reasoning. The idea is that rules that are logically consistent and universalizable are morally correct. Logical consistency is the ability of the rule to not contradict itself. Universalizability or general applicability is the ability to be applied to everything without exceptions.
Emily Herman Hickman, Andrew PHL 200 March 5, 2015 KANT There are many philosophers that are known. One of these philosophers is Immanuel Kant. Kant had very interesting outlooks on aspects, like perspectives and free will. In most of his theories, Kant relied heavily on the fact that free will existed in order for this to be true.
Lying robs the person on the receiving end of having a free choice to decide the other should they have known the truth; it robs them of the freedom to choose rationally. Also, the person who is lied to suffers if they do find out because they feel deceived and manipulated, and feel regarded as a person who doesn 't deserve the truth. When they see the damage caused by the lie, they doubt their own ability to assess truth and make correct decisions. This makes them become untrusting and uncertain about information provided to them and about the people around them and this too might affect or influence their ability to make free and informed choices. In the end, some of these people may seek revenge.
(Text.pg.116) Lies are morally wrong, for two reasons. First, lying corrupts the most important quality of being human: your ability to make free, rational choices is deprived of you the moment you tell a lie. Each lie you tell contradicts the part of you that gives you moral worth. Second, lies deprive others of their freedom to choose rationally. When your lie leads people to decide other than they would have had they known the truth, you have harmed their human dignity and autonomy.
We have listed textual evidences that imply value realism in Kant’s moral philosophy. However, a number of doubts remain whether Kant endorsed realism or value realism. There have been lots of scholars working on these issues. Kantian value realism, I think most famously Alison Hill’ Kantian value realism, has been widely discussed for different purposes. Alison Hill in the article Kantian value realism, evaluates Korsgaard and Wood’s explanation of the construction of moral and non-moral value as a ‘regress’ argument (Korsgaard, 1996a:
Hyejin Jang Professor Writing DED 8 April 2016. 4. 7. Kant’s ethics differs from utilitarian ethics both in its scope and in the precision with which it guides action. In The Categorical Imperative, Kant emphasizes that human autonomy is the essence of morality.
Immanuel kant wrote his famous ethical treatise foundations of the metaphysics of morals before the rise of English utilitarianism, but he was well equinted with the idea of founding morality on the feelings of pleasure and pain, rather than on reason . Firstly, Kant was of the view in related to the ideas of Jeremy becham and Stuart mill and both of them focused on the pleasure is coming. Kant then worked on his theory and focused on reason. Moral obligations thus have nothing to do with consequences, in Kant’s view but arises solely from a moral law that is binding on all rational beings. The Main Features of Kant’s Theory :
According to Aristotle, the basic philosophy behind virtue ethics is that all human good is aimed towards happiness. Aristotle argued that the goal of all of human existence is to be happy and in order to achieve that goal; one must work towards consistently improving their character. He further explains the principal of virtues and vices. Virtues are positive attributes that humans have and can develop over time to acquire happiness. There are two different types of virtues; intellectual virtues and moral virtues.
