Moral Philosophy and Ethics
Please respond to one of the following questions:
1. Kant’s moral philosophy is exceedingly rigorous in terms of what we should and should not do. He was so stringent that he claimed that lying is always and everywhere prohibited. a. Using the categorical imperative as a guide, explain why Kant believed that lying was always bad. b.) Explain why you believe Kant was correct or incorrect about the lying business, using specific examples to support your argument. If he was mistaken, what is an example of when lying is morally acceptable, and if he was correct, what is an example of when lying appears to be acceptable but is not?
2. When evaluating the morality of an act, Kant looked at the motives behind it, whereas Bentham and Mill looked at the results. Which do you think is more essential, consequences or intentions, when it comes to judging the morality of actions? Is it true that good intentions may save a poor outcome, or is it the other way around? In your explanation, make sure to include some clear and precise examples. Also, while both intents and effects can be considered, it appears that we can only actually prioritize one of them for any given act.
