kant

Kant:To be truthful “Kant believed that morality is a matter of following absolute rules rules that admit no exceptions, that must be followed come what may.” He uses the example that a person should never lie no matter what the circumstances. I think his example is entirely wrong. Kant states you should never lie no matter what the circumstance, even death. His example is that suppose a murder was chasing after a victim. He …

…be fifty, fifty that the murderer wouldn’t believe you. I think that you have to look at the moral side of the issue. If the consequences of you lying means saving someone’s life then it would be morally correct to lie. Kants example in his essay was not concrete enough to prove that you should never lie. I think Kant is wrong and that exceptions should be made under severe circumstances. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
