Good without
qualification
It's
autonomous
acting in accordance with one's
moral duty
rather than one's
desires.
How is this a
non-natural
theory?
a
chosen
act, not a
natural
act
We can never have
absolute
certainty
since all our
perceptions
can be
mistaken
'The autonomy of the will is not the sole principle of all moral laws and of the duties conforming to them'
critique of
practical reason
What is the aim?
to seek out and establish the
supreme
principle
of
morality
not to
be
happy but to be
worthy
of happiness
Good will
+
duty
=
moral action
Case of the axe murderer
tell the truth as that is our
moral duty
as moral
citizens
