5 apr 1780 anni - Immanuel Kant
Descrizione:
Is the most important name in modern ethics. He is a follower of both the Intuitionists
and Naturalists. He underlines the importance of “duty” and “self-love” as two district motives.
He says that the only absolutely good thing is the “good will”. It is the principle of action that ought to be obeyed by all rational beings, under all circumstances and for its
own sake. This principle of action is adopted by the person, and not the laws which are independent of the person. Kantian “Categorical Imperative” suggests that
“A person should act on that principles, and when everybody act like that principles become a universal
law”.
Kant’s definition of “Free-will” is based on the consciousness of moral obligations: “we ought, therefore we can” Kant based his theory on three postulates of morality.
• The Existence of God
• The freedom of will
• The Immortality of the Soul.
