Kant is an anti-consequentialist, which means he believes there is no moral certainty. Kant also believes in good-will which is basically following your duty. Kant’s theory on Universal Maximus supports my position on Divorce. Universalizable Maxims is logically applicable to all people at all times which is his General Rule.

As the child grows up, the child will start to think more logically and critically upon the situation. Divorce is one of things we frown upon especially cut off, in a heartbeat. The Divorce rates throughout the past 10 years have skyrocketed and will continue to skyrocket. In the Introduction to Epictetus, Epictetus says that “accepting one’s fate and the fate of the coming directly from the divine intelligence which makes the best that is possible”. This means that understanding one’s destiny and the destiny come right from the divine intelligence. My question to Epictetus is if the understanding of one’s destiny is made from the “divine intelligence”, why do kids who suffer from a divorce become troubled and have behavioral issues? How could a virtuous man sit back and let
