Kantian Morality and the Concept of Duty
Exploring Kant's perspective on morality, duty, and guilt, this chapter delves into how Kant based moral principles on rationality and universal laws rather than external influences. It highlights the intrinsic relationship between moral worth and acting out of pure reason alone, emphasizing the concept of duty as a motive for moral action. Kant's insights on guilt and its ties to voluntariness, along with the evolution of Christian notions in his philosophy, provide a profound examination of human moral orientation.
