Kant is wrong to rely on human reason

Question 1

kant is RIGHT to rely on human reason

Answer 1

Morality does come within the sphere of reason. Our moral duties are a priori synthetic; we are able to work them out using our reason.

Question 2

kant is RIGHT to rely on human reason

Answer 2

Kant believes in autonomy. Each of us has the power of reason within us. Because of this, treating persons as ends means that one of the things we owe to each other is to respect the autonomy, allowing people to reason for themselves rather than imposing our ethical ideas.

Question 3

kant is RIGHT to rely on human reason

Answer 3

Kant assumes that there is one fixed human nature and thus one way of reasoning. Hence we should each, when using our reasoning, come to the same conclusions about what the categorical imperatives are, in the same way we might reach the same conclusions when reasoning accurately about a maths question.
