Problem
The various theoretical applications focus on the division of ethics and morals of society as it relates to human behavior. One of those theorists was Immanuel Kant, who was considered one of the leading philosophers of his time. He believed that morality relied on absolute rules and that it was our duty as a society to do the right thing. Kant's philosophy means that morality should not be based on feelings or emotions, but rather on the concepts of duty, obligation, and rationality.
Task
a) Examine Kant's ideals of human morality. What is a moral action as opposed to an unethical action?
b) Acknowledging the demand for law reform in current events, do you believe that a society could ever act appropriately without the use of laws? Explain.
c) Do you agree with Kant that formulating absolute rules for behavior helps us to live moral lives? Explain with reference to Kant's principles.
