Discuss the importance of the will and how one can attempt


Two commonly misunderstood concepts in deontology are "duty" and "good will." Begin your discussion by defining those terms as used in Kantian philosophy. Then go on to consider the following: Kant famously states that the only thing good without qualification is a good will. On this basis, he holds that we can do the "right action" but not out of a good will, and that only actions done from a good will are morally praiseworthy. Do you agree with Kant? Provide an example (real or made up) of someone doing a good thing but out of a motive other than that of a good will, and give reasons for why you think Kant is right, or why you think Kant is wrong that this action lacks moral value. Discuss the importance of the will and how one can attempt to create a good will. If you do not think a good will is important discuss your reasons for believing that the will is not important in ethical action.
