In this paper, I will focus on the Moral philosophy of Emmanuel Kant. Moral philosophy signifies a branch of philosophy that contemplates what is wrong and right. It examines how individuals ought to live their lives with others and deals with the nature of morality. Immanuel Kant was a German thinker and among the main enlightenment philosophers. His systematic and comprehensive works in ethics, metaphysics, epistemology, and aesthetics have made him among the most influential personalities in contemporary Western philosophy. Immanuel Kant’s moral philosophy is a deontological normative philosophy, which denotes the discards the utilitarian notion that the correctness of an act is a function of how productive its aftermath is. He asserts that the means (or motive), and not the outcome, of action determines its moral value. Kant’s moral philosophy is based on the idea that: “It is impossible to think of anything at all in the world, or indeed even beyond it, that could be considered good without limitation except a goodwill.” According to this philosophy, the wrongness or rightness of actions does not depend on their outcomes but on whether they accomplish our duty. Immanuel Kant believed that there was an utmost principle of morality, and he termed it as The Categorical Imperative. Immanuel Kant urged that the supreme principle of morality is a standard of rationality. Every particular moral need, according to Kant, is warranted by this principle, which denotes that all immoral actions are irrational for the reason that they violate the Categorical Imperative.<\/p>\n
