Categorical Imperative

6 11 2007

Kant’s Categorical Imperative is to preform our duty. Categorical Imperative means absolute command. So, in others words we should preform our duty. Then, what is duty? Well Kant says that duty is something that can be used as universal law. So, a question to this theory is, cheating to get a good grade wrong or right? Well if everybody cheats to get a good grade, will cheating then help you achieve your goal. The answer is no because if the teacher would then make the tests cheat proof or just stop giving tests. I think it is a convincing yet it has flaws just like every other theory. I mean what if two duties conflict then which one is to be preformed?
