In Foundations of the Metaphysics of Morals, Immanuel Kant proposes a new form of determining the morality of an action. His moral philosophy is based on the possession of a single virtue: a good will. Unlike opposing moral arguments, his views provide absolute parameters with which to prescribe morality through moral requirements, better known as categorical imperatives. In this article I will endeavor, according to the Kantian view of categorical imperatives, to better understand how these provide a means of determining the morality of an action and how, when faced with objections, they stand firm on their absolute foundations. To fully understand Kant's moral philosophy, we must first understand two key elements on which it is based: good will and the categorical imperative. Kant believes above all in good will. Some value happiness, justice or even authority; Kant, on the other hand, values ​​our good will above all else. Good will, he asserts, is our commitment to perform our duty for its own sake (Shafer-Landau, p. 70). In other words, we will not be held accountable for actions beyond our reach, but only for our ability and willingness to act rightly – our ultimate duty. He believes that this characteristic has unconditional value (value in itself or in itself) and as such is worth exercising in all possible circumstances (Shafer-Landau, pp. 70-75). He goes so far as to say that actions will only have moral value if they are the result of our good will, similar to that which we intend to achieve (Shafer-Landau, p. 70). Good will is an essential virtue. according to Kant, which then binds us to categorical imperatives. If we are to be motivated by good will, or a willingness to do what is right, then we must conjecture...... middle of article ...... all philosophy is so acclaimed because it provides a strict approach. a flawless moral vision – it’s absolute. Kant was very clever in forming categorical imperatives and valuing good will, universal attributes that can be applied to everyone to determine moral status. As we have seen throughout this article, his argument is strong against the objection because morality is attributed to individuals and their duty and not to side effects or resulting actions, things outside our domain to manage when we try to act morally.
