Kantian Ethics and Moral Psychology

This chapter explores the intricacies of Kant's ethical lectures, focusing on the interplay between moral rules and psychological motivation. It contrasts Kant's views with those of the Stoics, particularly regarding the roles of reason, sentiment, and therapy in ethical behavior. The discussion further connects these philosophical ideas to contemporary culture through examples like 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone,' illustrating the relevance of morality in both education and personal character development.
