Immanuel Kant On Lying

Decent Essays
Immanuel Kant defines lies as an ¨intentional untruthful declaration to another person¨ and that it is always unjustified, no matter what the situation is. The problem with this statement is, occasionally lying must be done in order to protect someone. It is for the following that I believe that lying is almost never acceptable. Opponents may say that it is acceptable to lie whenever because they have free will and can do as they desire, except, most reasons behind people's lies are to benefit themselves. These lies, as Immanuel Kant and Brad Blandon says, destroys human dignity and makes your life more stressful than it has to be. (Rejecting all lies) and (Honestly, Tell the Truth) I believe that lying is only justified when the motive behind

    He said that “lying under any circumstances is the obliteration of one’s dignity as a human being” (Rachels 131). In defense of his position, Kant offers two arguments for an absolute rule against lying. He relies on the categorical imperative theory.

Therefore, he concludes that lying cannot be permitted.…

    The excerpt written by Sissela Bok, about Immanuel Kant, states that lying is always bad and harms the liar as well as society. One example in paragraph two states, “This is an absolutist position, prohibiting all lies...” this means that Kant forbids all lies no matter what they are; even the ones that can save somebodies life. Another example in the article states, “...remove any effort to distinguish among lies...” which means that because Immanuel Kant rejects all lies; he believes that all lies are the same, and no lie is greater than the other.

    If you ask most people do you think lying is acceptable, majority of them will not hesitate and tell you yes, and then give you multiple reasons on why lying is a bad thing. But if you actually sit down and think, everyone lies several times a day sometimes without even knowing it because the lie was so small and meaningless. But in other occasions people lie to protect things they care for and about they are also willing to accept the consequences behind their lies and actions.

    In “The Ways We Lie” by Stephanie Ericsson she discusses and breaks down the activity of lying into different kinds of lies. Ericsson goes into great detail of about 10 of them, but there are many more.

    Lying is never ethically okay, yet it is done on a daily basis and is therefore more widely accepted by various people. Generally, lying should be avoided, but there are many situations where it is justified. Instinctive lies, or lies that you automatically tell on the spot are usually ok because it is part of human nature to instinctively lie to protect ourselves. However, planned lies, like stories that you make up on the go or false ideas that you think of before expressing them should never be allowed. For example, if someone were to ask you if you ate the last piece of cake, depending on their tone of voice, for many, their first instinct would be to say, “No!,” without even thinking.…
