According to Kant,______.

A) we do what is right because it is right and it is right because it is our duty
B) a moral action is right because it will result in happiness
C) deontology is similar to utilitarianism because it includes a focus on the personal welfare
D) we do what is right because it is right and it is right because if give us "good feelings"

According to Kant's moral philosophy, we should do what is right because it is our duty to do so, not because of any expected consequences or personal benefits that may arise from the action. He believed that actions should be guided by moral principles and rational thinking, rather than one's emotions or desire for personal pleasure. This approach is often referred to as deontology, which is distinct from utilitarianism, as it prioritizes the moral value of an action over its potential outcomes. Therefore, Option A is the correct answer.
