This universal body of law began in…

Anna Cagle In the Greek tragedy, Oedipus Rex, written by Sophocles around 400 BC, Creon, Oedipus’ brother in law, gave a speech that illustrated his reluctant attitude towards Oedipus’ assumptions of his intention to be King. Before Creon’s speech, Oedipus had sent him to receive an oracle that would reveal Oedipus’ fate. When Creon shared that the oracle told him Oedipus would kill his father and sleep with his mother, Oedipus was furious and believed Creon and Tiresias were plotting against…

To make a promise is to engage in verbal behaviour which involves bestowing one’s word to execute a future action; if one has no intention of keeping to their word, this is to deceive, - deception is a form of lying – something we chastise and place a negative valence upon. Within this essay I will critically analyse Kant’s idea that lying is intrinsically morally wrong; the truth, being an imperative, and to be dishonest, he considered, is a violation of the Categorical Imperative 1.
