Are We Fighting Vices?
Kant thinks that when it comes to being better, like sort of getting a grip on our vices and our character is probably the most of the battle. If you can just go through your life avoiding vice, you're probably gonna have a good life. And then anything above that virtue, those strengths you develop is icing on the cake. For Kant, vices often arise out of our desire to put ourselves first in a variety of ways. We want to feel sometimes superior to people or we tend to feel inferior to them.
