II. A. Explain what each of quotes by Kant means, thoroughly, legibly, and in your own words. (15 word minimum, 5 points each) 1. "Now an action done from duty must wholly exclude the influence of inclination." 2. "So act as to treat humanity, whether in thine own person or in that of any other, in every case as an end in itself, never as a means only." 3. "A good will is good not because of what it performs or effects, not by its aptness for the attainment of some proposed end, but simply by virtue of the volition - that is, it is good in itself." II.B. Answer in light of Kant's overall view -- thoroughly, legibly, and in your own words. Be sure to use complete sentences. (15 word minimum, 5 points each) 1. In light of the view of freedom presented in Section I number 6 above, the idea that freedom means doing whatever one feels like doing, explain Kant's view of freedom. Would he agree with this view or not? Why or why not? What does Kant mean by freedom? 2. Describe how Kant apply would analyze whether it would be right or wrong to make a false promise to a friend, e.g. asking to "borrow money" knowing one does not plan to ever repay the money. 3. Explain the extent to which consequences matter to the rightness of an action, according to Kant, and why they do or why they do not, according to Kant. 4. Explain Kant's distinction between "heteronomy of will" and "autonomy of will." Give an example of each. Section II.C. One paragraph answer. Be sure to answer these in several complete sentences each, forming a coherent paragraph: minimum 15 words (5 points each) 1. Explain what Kant means by a hypothetical imperative versus a categorical imperative, and give an example of what Kant would call a hypothetical imperative. 2. Explain why a good will is "good without limitation," whereas such traits as courage, perseverance, and even happiness are not, according to Kant. > 3. Explain the extent to which consequences matter to the rightness of an action, according to Kant, and why they do or why they do not, according to Kant. 4. Explain one important criticism of Kantian theory. 5. Explain one important strength of Kantian theory. 6. Explain how Kantian theory might be applied to a particular concrete moral issue, explaining how the various options ought to be compared. (This can be your own example or one discussed in class.) Be sure to suggest a maxim and to say whether or not - and why - it does or does not fit the Categorical Imperative. Section III. Be sure to answer these in several complete sentences each, forming one or more coherent paragraphs: minimum 30 words (10 points each) (1-4) Explain how Kant analyses one or more of the four central examples he uses. In each case, paraphrase the maxim Kant uses to test the issue. State whether it does or not pass the Categorical Imperative test, to Kant. Explain why he thinks it does or does not pass the Categorical Imperative test. 1. making a promise to borrow money without intending to repay it 2. killing oneself to spare oneself suffering 3. developing one's talents and capacities 4. failing to help others (5-8) Explain not necessarily how Kant analyses one or more of the four central examples he uses but how you do using Kantian theory, using whichever version of the Categorical Imperative you think best suits it. (Do this if your Kantian analysis would differ from his treatment of the example.) 5. making a promise to borrow money without intending to repay it 6. killing oneself to spare oneself suffering 7. developing one's talents and capacities 8. failing to help others 4 that and w1|| In my opinion this can be callse by ematian Aides and banat a) a Kingdom at ends in Campesid entirlu Phan kart defines as those con A (thang his definition to act ini 9. (You may do this question multiple times, explaining multiple examples.) Using one of the examples you wrote about above (explaining one of Kant's four main examples from the text, indicating what the issue is such as considering suicide in the face of unhappiness, what he thinks one ought to do, and why), for this question critically examine his view of the example, arguing that his account fails on the terms of his own theory or on some other terms – that is, that you think he got the wrong answer to the rightness or wrongness of the action - and why. 10. What is the "kingdom of ends” according to Kant? 11. Why does Kant claim - or not claim - that freedom of the will must be presupposed? Explain what he means by this.

SECTION II. A

1. “Now an action done from duty must wholly exclude the influence of inclination.”
From a moral standpoint, an action is crucial if it is done out of a sense of personal responsibility
rather than from motivation for selfish reasons.
2. “So act as to treat humanity, whether in thine own person or in that of any other, in
every case as an end in itself, never as a means only.”
Rational beings should be respected and accorded with dignity as ends in themselves and should
not be treated as expendable.
3. “A good will is good not because of what it performs or effects, not by its aptness for
the attainment of some proposed end, but simply by virtue of the volition- that is, it
is good in itself.”
An action is not considered good or bad because of what results from it, but from what was
initially intended from it. As such, sometimes morally right actions can have bad results.
SECTION II. B
1. Explain Kant’s view of freedom
Kant’s view of freedom is closely related to the notion of free-will, which refers to the
commitment to comply with personal desires. Kant would not agree, because according to him,
practical reason is the basis of freedom.
2. How Kant would analyze whether it would be wrong or right making a false
promise to a friend.
