FOR KANT…• We have freedom – therefore we
need to be moral.• Morality can’t be subjective• Reason (intellect) is the ultimate
judge / authority.• Goodwill is the only intrinsically
good thing.• Duty is King for Kant.

Moral PhilosophyImmanuel Kant
Kant says that every time we come up against a moral dilemma, we should shorten that moral dilemma to produce a MAXIM – which is a proposed rule of action we can deduce from the dilemma….
E.G. A nasty big bully has just punched me on the nose. I want to punch him back, so I will.
MAXIM – Use force on someone if they have used force on you… or …. Revenge is ok.

Moral PhilosophyImmanuel Kant
An Imperative is a command.
A hypothetical imperative contains an ‘if’.
A moral imperative is a moral command which is conditional upon nothing else.
A categorical imperative is what Kant used to test maxims. If the maxim passes, it is our duty to act.
