Kantianism

aims at the most happiest for the greatest amount of people. The word for that definition is utilitarianism. Did the three guys that killed the one guy to survive do the right thing according to utilitarianism? Or, what about according to Kantianism? Kantianism is hard to put into definition. An example of Kantian Ethics is: if I decided to steal something even though it’s wrong, then it is okay to steal whenever I want. But, is it okay to universalize stealing?

In philosophy, one can see how attempts are made to support our moral claims. Although some do pose more significance than others, philosophers have to look at all the perspectives and views of each foundation.

The theory states that one must act as to treat humanity, whether in your own person or in that of any other, in every case as an end, never as a means only (Practical Guide, ch.5). To apply Kantianism, you must look at how the object of moral concern is being treated and if that treatment is resulting in exploitation (Practical Guide, ch.5). Pertaining to this case, we must look at how the patient is being used. If the nurse decides to follow…

When I think to the future, I think of what I wish to become after college. I’d like to become some kind of doctor because I truly wish to be able to help people and help save lives or improve the quality of lives. While doctors are supposed to be committed to doing no harm, there have been several issues in the news over the past few years that are controversial; these issues may include the stem cell debate, abortion, and euthanasia.

Moral duties are those that are assigned by us and us alone. No one can tell us how to make decisions. Our moral duty is defined in the way that we are raised, the choices we make, and the people we have made allegiances with. No one person’s moral duty is more right than any other person’s duty.

Duty to the Constitution and to protect and serve our country is separate, or at least should be…

consideration is Kantianism, according to csus.edu Kant was for two reasons about punishments and the way it is handled, the first was “People should be punished simply because they have committed crimes, and for no other reason.” And second is “Punishment should be proportionate to the crime” (“Punishment”). With Kantianism it seems that Kant’s two reasons can be categorized under the retributivist argument and not really with the deterrent argument. I think between the two I would pick…

Using my 5 core values and utilising that with Kantianism, it was easy to establish what I would have done differently if I was in charge of operations.
