Kant¡¯s Deontological Ethics
Five Questions (and answers)
(1) What is morally good without qualification? (A: The good will.)
(2) What does it mean to have a good will? (A: To act from duty
rather than from inclination.)
(3) What does it mean to act from duty? (A: To act from respect for
the law ¡ª to view the law as objectively necessary.)
(4) What is the law according to which I am to act? (A: Any law
generated by the Categorical Imperative, viz.: ¡°act only on that
maxim that I can consistently will to become a universal law.¡±)
(5) And why should I act from respect for this law? (Why is it so
binding on me?) (A: Because I made the law myself.)
