The Foundation of Society: Common Morals

What is law, what is the government? In our country, the government is democracy or the government of the people. For countries like us and many other countries around the world to define their laws, they must first look at their common ethics. These ethics will be the foundation of all the laws that will be introduced and society can not be established without a common moral foundation.

In his first moral philosophy, "foundation of moral metaphysics", Kant can provide us a way to determine the moral controversy to provide us with a common moral instinct to us I tried to systematize it. Do not ask various questions or clarify. According to common understanding, he pointed out that the only unconditional good thing in the world is goodwill. Well-known good fortune, health, and even happiness are not unconditionally good. When they marry the bad guys they will be the source of condemnation for fair observers. We will not admire the evil man who achieved his goals and enjoyed the sunset victory. We condemn him and I hope his plan will be dissatisfied. No, it is more important than happiness, with happiness, that is worth having goodwill.

According to the general good concept of political ethics, even if personal incentives lead to fill all relevant positions, lack of attention to common interests is itself a moral defect of political society is there.
