Rationality, Self Love, and Duties?
Posted by: x3nessuh on: November 14, 2008
Rationality and self-love, according to Kant, are connected in the sene that humans have the ability to reason. This ability allows humans to act in accordance to our beliefs on what is moral and what is immoral. In Kant’s view, morality should follow the concept of categorical imperative. He connects rationality and morality and says that any action going against this is immoral. Morality is solely based on the ability to reason and our actions that follow and not based on what the individual desires.
