Kant Essay Research Paper KANTKant begins to

preformed from duty. He claims that you must have duty in

your actions to have a good will. To preserve ones life is

a duty, and everyone has an inclination to do so. Some

people preserve their lives to be sure in accordance with

duty, but not from duty. If a man preserves his life

without loving it, but does it just because it is his duty

to do so, then he will have good moral content. To be

beneficent where a person can is a duty. If a man performs

and act souley because it is duty, and not for any other

inclination, then his action has genuine moral worth. Kant

explains that to secure your own happiness is a duty.

Because if you don t care about many personal conditions

about yourself, these conditions may easily become

temptations to transgress ones duties. Also, Kant describes

duties in propositions. One proposition states that an

action done from a duty has its moral worth, not in the

purpose that is to be attained by it. but in the maxim

according to which the action is determined. Kant also

explains that duty is the necessity of an action done out of

respect for the law. Only the law itself can be an object

of respect and can also be a command. Moral worth does not

lie in the effect expected from it nor in any principle of

action that needs to borrow its motive from this expected

effect.
