Following the historical period of Puritan American literature, a new literary movement during the mid 18th century to the early 19th century from Europe introduced a new school of thinking in literature. The Age of Enlightenment sprouted new ideas concerning philosophical ideas of liberty and freedom. Enlightenment literature also explored the concepts of democracy and reasoning.

ethical evaluation using Kantian’s theory in a lying case stated below. What is Kantian’s theory? Kantian’s theory is an ethical theory that relies on the moral goodness of all people. “Kant argued that there is an unconditional good related to rationality, the moral law, and moral duty.

patient sorely by his own wish and request. However, despite the fact that the Kantian notion of dignity was influential and made it clear on the impermissibility of killing either the person either in the individual or that of another person, rationality alone cannot be the center and totality of our being as humans and cannot be completely that which makes humans have dignity…

Throughout politics, a need for everyone to work together towards a common goal arises. Without this cooperation of multiple parties, nothing is accomplished. Collective action, the efforts of a group to reach and implement agreements, takes place not only in everyday life, but also within politics. People utilize collective action by observing the variables in place and making a plan as how to effectively achieve the purpose. Although collective action appears to be an easy decision to make,…

I disagree with the idea that the Dualistic Theory entirely avoids the problems posed by the five-minute hypothesis. Huemer asserts that his theory dodges the objection because it explains why both A and B are still rational where the Preservation theory fails in doing so.
