Kant assumed that immoral/unethical acts were always also ______.

A) acts that resulted in more harm than good
B) irrational
C) violations of religious tenets
D) violations of the principle of non-deontology

Irrational

Acting without or against reason; not based on logical, rational thinking.

Immoral/Unethical Acts

Behaviors or actions that are considered wrong or unacceptable based on societal norms or ethical standards.

Non-Deontology

A term incorrectly formed and likely refers to ethical theories not based on duty or rules, such as consequentialism or virtue ethics; however, the correct term does not exist in standard ethical discussions, so I'll mark it as NO.

  • Elucidate the connection among morality, obligation, and reason within the framework of Kant's philosophical teachings.
