According to
Kant
, both
of
these theories are incomplete when it comes to the
self
.
According to him, we all have an inner
and
an outer
self
which together form our
consciousness. The inner
self
is comprised
of
our psychological state
and
our rational
intellect. The outer
self
includes our sense
and
the physical world.
Kant
believed that reason is the source of morality, and that aesthetics arise from a
faculty of disinterested judgment.
Kant's
views continue to have a major influence on
contemporary
philosophy
, especially the fields of epistemology, ethics, political theory,
and post-modern aesthetics
What is kant’s moral theory?
Kant's theory
is an example of a deontological
moral theory
–according to these
theories
, the
rightness or wrongness of actions does not depend on their consequences but on whether they
fulfill our duty.
Kant
believed that there was a supreme principle of
morality
, and he referred to
it as The Categorical Imperative.
Does Kant believe in God?
German philosopher Immanuel
Kant
devised an argument from morality based on
practical reason.
Kant
argued that the goal of humanity is to achieve perfect happiness
and virtue (the summum bonum) and
believed
that an afterlife must exist in order for
this to be possible, and that
God
must exist to provide this.
What are transcendental ideas?
Transcendental
idealism, also called formalistic idealism, term applied to the
epistemology of the 18th-century German philosopher Immanuel Kant, who held that
the human self, or
transcendental
ego, constructs knowledge out of sense impressions
and from universal concepts called categories that it imposes upon them.
