Q

Anyone who is acting morally must be respected else i will not be respecting the moral law

21
Q

why do i have to respect the freedom of the others because i will be respecting the moral law, else i will be immoral. Because the others are free when they are respecting the moral law, if i dont respect their application of moral law as if i am not being conceptually coherent as if i am not applying the moral law

22
Q

When i am limiting my freedom to the moral law, i am not limiting it , totally opposite i am being free

23
Q

Only when u willingly limit ur freedom , you are being free

24
Q

There is no real freedom without the limit of freedom

25
origin of right: Willingly i limit my freedom because that is only how i will be free
true
26
Crime
not respect the freedom of the others ( I will be infringing on the moral laaw)
27
When someone is commiting a crime, should i go against h]is freedom
yes, because he is infrining the noral law and the only way to get him back to freedom is to go against his freedom; to get him back to the pure reason and intention of the application of the moral law
28
When u commit a crime , we go against ur freedom because by you commiting a crime you made yrself an exception . Thus we are making your exceptional act universal so bring u back to the real freedom. So when u kill we kill u because u thought ur act is really free but it was fake , so bring u back to the real freedom by making u wish ur action is universal thus killing u
u claim ur action is exceptional because in origin it is moral, so punishment is to make u wish that ur action is universal and hence it apply to u, and thus by that binging u back to freedom It is a rational vindictive justice
29
Origin of right
respect the respect of the moral law , meaning respect the freedom of the others
30
origin of property
as long as u perform ur actions freely, meaning in conformity with the moral law, no one should interfere with ur freedom. So if u are in an island, and using a land freely (meaning abide the moral law) and this land was for no one originally. If anyone claimms this land he will be infringng ur freedom thus not respecting the moral law. what make it ur property U are 1st one using it and people most respect ur freedom, so no one can use it else he wiil be infringing on ur rights
31
What makes ur car ur proopery
people must respect my freedom to use it else they will be infringing on my freedom and not respecting the moral law

by suspending the right of others on things they become private properties
right
33
property
right against persons when it come to things
34
Two condotions for property
the thing must be a usable thing by everybody | people respect my freedom to use it
35
are our bodies property
no because they are not usablr by everyone. Even myslef cant use myslef, (i cant make m self an end to an end which is not an ultimate end. ( i cant use myself for pleasure) can other use me no, because i am end not a mean else they will not be behaving with me as a persona representing a moral category
36
u cant sell ur body or blood but u can donate
true ( it will be end not a mean for monry for example)
37
what is a contract
a contract is when u sign an agreement with somebody for an action in return for the perfomance of another action be the other party (mutual agreement on the performance of actions)
38
contract
agreement of 2 willing free persons to perform deeds. (They must be free, i cant put a gun into anothers head)
39
If i sign a contract for 100 kg of tomatoes to be delivered that doesnot mean i now own the tomatoes in ur garden
because the agreement of contract is to perform an action
40
If the tomatoes go rotten, it is not my fault
false it is, we agree to deliver the good tomatoes | U own the action to deliver the stuff
41
I cant break the contract because
1st i will be lying second i am infringing ( i am making him doing actionthat he would not have done it with the contract) he would for example signed with another one and not wasted a day
42
An immoral action can be not a crime for example homosexuality, it is immoral but not a crime (I am not making the other do things against his will)

Only case u can own someone is marriage
Sexual relations are necessarily animal, u are objectifying someone. Sex is about the physical properties. But u cant use someone as a thing for physical properties, however the species have to continue and people have sexual needs, u can do it under the condition tha sex is not an end itsel
45
Having sex can only be done by
making it not an end itself, so u are having sex with someone to honr him and serve him in totally (improve the spirit and preserve the body. Thus it will be under marriage, a mean under a higher end (to
46
Marriage
i commit myslef to serve u in everything . whenever u have a sexual need , it is the obligation of the otherpartner because he commited himself (he signed a contract for all the needs including the sexual one. u cant get ppolymarriage, because u are not allowing a person who has the duty to derve to servve u when required
