In the foundations of the metaphysics of morality, Kant undermines many of our moral certainties. Our Western philosophical tradition teaches that choosing the right path to virtue is in one's own hands. Aristotle's understanding of virtue derives from our moral attitudes, which are taken from examples of virtue. Kant's idea of ​​morality is sought by a single individual. Only a few people are universally accepted as this ideal conception of morality, figures such as Gandhi or Jesus. Kant believes that we cannot derive this idea of ​​morality simply from examples of those around us, but we can only decide morality from a specific principle . This notion of morality has its roots in an idea that is not used by most individuals. He has little faith in human morality because he sees it as easily corruptible; the Kantian moral method can only be true on the basis that human nature often struggles with desires and passions that do not always fit morality. Kant argues that human reasoning is limited in its ability to provide an example of true morality. In his essay he states that what humans perceive as good morals does not necessarily correspond to the conditions of what can be classified as universal moral law. Kant believes that people should consider morality not just as an idea or set of exceptions, but as an absolute idea (Kant 408). This absolute idea should be free from human rationalization to create a pure example. He believes this is so because within this form of rationalizing right from wrong there are often instances that stray from true virtue such as human behavior. Kant sees this as a unique quality in humankind; who can act in accordance with the acceptance of the law (412). He worries... middle of paper... that he can't help himself. Experiencing the process that occurs from awareness of a need for help to the solution is vital to understanding how to implement a moral law. Without this someone might know what is moral but not have the means to know how to help. Morality in Kantian terms provokes many questions about the ordinary concepts in which people have placed it. Having a universal moral law, free from other people's examples is difficult to achieve for any human being. It is possible for someone to create their own imperative to achieve a functioning set of moral means. Many people could actively use a fundamental and independent concept of morality. But this is not enough for the common good. To understand the roots of the universal moral law it is necessary to fully understand it through examples and experiences so as to be able to proceed with one's own following and stimuli..
