In the article entitled “Rejecting all lies: Immanuel Kant” Sissela Bok states that only lie if it about something huge like death, harm, or danger. First, Bok mentions “Truthfulness in a statements which cannot be avoided is the formal duty of an individual to everyone, however great may be the disadvantage.” (para 1) The writer discusses that lying is always a disadvantage even if it was protecting someone from evil. In addition she points out “For someone holding such a position to be called a liar was a mortal.” Moreover she emphasizes that you would be a mortal because Immanuel Kant would not want you to lie ever. Finally, Bok concludes that it is never ok to lie even if it harms someone.
