Why ethics: the purpose of life In our culture, many people are asking the same questions. Why I am better than you Who said that if you think that America is better than any other country, I need to deal with you this way. All these questions come from the same question. What is morality? This question raises another related question: Why is it moral? Even if there is a person (in this article, I mean a person in a general sense, meaning the whole human being) to be a moral creature, he is responsible.
Because this problem involves an ethical behavior-oriented core, the convincing reason to provide ethical behavior seems to be critical to those who seriously consider the moral proposition. After all, if you do not know the clear reasons for moral behavior, the moral principles do not influence behavior and discussing them can only be intellectual activities. Therefore, before considering how to apply the ethical framework to modern problems, we provide several reasons to solve these problems using an ethical framework rather than an unethical problem is needed.
Kant's explanation on the content of the moral requirement and the nature of the moral reasoning is based on his analysis of his own power of moral consideration as a reason for action. The reason for the moral requirement is that they can not be ignored if they coexist with other considerations. Basic moral requirements hold the power to give reasons in every situation, and they are universally valid. Therefore, regardless of the basic moral requirements, its content is universal. Only universal law can be the content of ethical reasons. This gives Cant a provisional statement: "I should not take action unless my motto can be made a universal law" (G. 4: 402). Kant believes that this is the basic principle of all morals.
