Kantian DutyImmanuel Kant has several "duty-based" ethics. Another word to describe his belief in “duty” is deontological ethics. Two other theories are teleological ethics and consequential ethics. Kant believes that teleology is wrong, which places Kant in the category of a deontological ethicist. It specifically cares about what people do and completely ignores the consequences of the person's actions. Some specific "duty-based ethics are: do the right thing, do it because it is the right thing to do, don't do the wrong thing, above all avoid the wrong things because "they are wrong". Realistically you cannot validate any of them. Immanuel Kant believed that " we have a duty to ourselves and others to think beyond our particular situation and to recognize an obligation "to life itself" (Immanuel Kant). Kant's duty to not have a worldview is because it is his way of thinking realistically. Simply put, his theory is above the Idealism/Realism worldview, but in deeper thought, “Kant argues that ethics should not depend on a particular worldview, his “duty-based ethical theory it is rooted in logic and language and is in line with an idealistic perspective" (RAE). Simply put, "the Good is that which is good for all. The Good is that which is universal" (In a nutshell). Kant also believed that "it is our duty to align our intentions with the good identified by the application of the Categorical Imperative" (Immanuel Kant). Kant also stated that "to do the right thing because it is the right thing" (Immanuel Kant) is not particularly inadequate, but it brings us to another q...... middle of paper...... life. Life is simply a beautiful thing and a sacred thing, especially when creating a life. Life in prison without parole seems satisfying to me, since the criminal could never walk the streets of society or even think of having a "so-called normal life". point from a classmate on the other side of the story regarding a criminal's crime that was just terrifying This story made me think twice about the issue, maybe even using capital punishment in extreme cases based on Kant's duty. categorical imperative and several bullet points of universalizability all have an important connection in relation to Immanuel Kant and capital punishment. Let us remember Kant's phrase: "Never treat a person as a means to an end" (Immanuel Kant). We should never mistreat a person disrespectfully for any reason.
