Analyzing Kant's Categorical Imperative
In the Categorical Imperative, Kant says that moral of society was based on duty. Respect for other people is a key concept of contemporary moral philosophy. He claims, “always treat humanity, whether in yourself or in other people, as an end in itself and never as a mere means.” Treating others as a mere means is using them as a tool, which Kant says is immoral. Treating others as ends in themselves allow them the freedom of choice by not denying them relevant information.
