HW-907 Kants Ethics
The greatest strength of Kant’s ethics is his insistence on universalizing human axioms or rules in order to arrive at justifiable principles. Kant demands that we transcend self-interest and use human reason to act for all people in all places. Wants, personal preference, and emotion are not morally relevant to Kant. What is important and necessary is to use human reason in making ethical decisions. Kant lays the groundwork for addressing the question of universal rights granted by human beings in opposition to those rights endowed by their creator.
