Kantian Ethics

Join George and John as they discuss and debate different Philosophical ideas. Today they will be looking into Kantian Ethics, an attempt to explain human morality. Is fulfilling your duty the only significant factor in whether your actions are morally right or wrong?
How exactly do we define our duty? Should the consequences of our actions be considered morally right or wrong, or is it solely down to whether we follow our duty? Watch as our favorite Philosophers tackle these questions.

The friend expectantly pointing at the movie theater while there's a dying person on the sidewalk was so funny

[nansi]

this is so great! explains Kant's ideas so clearly and the way the second character asks questions after each point really helps when trying to write a clear summary/explanation of Kant's theory :) amazing

[janellbalmaceda]

i simply love philosophy vibes. You guys make my life so much easier.

[adeela]

this feels like eavesdropping a conversation you deadly want to be a part of

I honestly love these animated characters' visual design, the setting, ambience and their voice modulation so much. I am afraid I am getting addicted to this channel to the extent it may be interfering with my work, but I love this channel to the moon and back, it provides me with such emotional comfort that I am starting to cry now. Keep up the great work!

A video that explains the theory very well and gives a rebuttal allowing for deeper thought. Rare, very rare, these days.

Deontological ethics & utilitarianism both have pros and cons, ideally we ought to have a mixture of the two. I think W.D Ross may provide an answer to this issue. Great work, as usual.

If your friend says "Don't help the dying person, take me to the movies NOW like you promised!", then stop being that person's friend.
That's a shitty friend. lol.

This video was very helpful! Now it 's time to go pass my ethics midterm exam.

[alexandriak.]

Thank you so much for posting this! It clarified my understanding of Kantian Ethics helped me understand this concept from lecture at a deeper level.

I watched almost 10 videos for kant. This is the most succinct version.🙏🙏

[andrewhannigan]

The voices sound really dry but the information is really good so its worth watching a few times for revision. Cheers

The suffering person on the floor becomes a duty of care for both individuals. I mean if the friend that was promised to be taken to cinema sees the person on the floor in need his duty of care weights heavier than his desire to go to the cinema and both individuals act in good will giving the needed help to the individual on the floor. After that is done they can arrange the cinema deal again.

thank you so much for these videos, really helping me through my a-levels.

[juliawilliams]

Thank you so much for putting this material out. I'm back in school after 10 years, plus Im ESL so understanding Philosophy has been pretty hard. After I started watching your videos I was able to understand the concepts better. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[MahendraSingh-tefm]

Excellent video. Summary of 100s of pages packed within 10 minutes.
Wonderful explanation!!

[Srindal]

In the case of duty to two opposing ideas, you would need to prioritise based on severity. While the needs of the friend are important, its not more important than a person dying. Therefore, rescheduling would be necessary.

वाह।बहुत ही सुन्दर, सरल भाषा में और बेहद कम शब्दों में रोमांचित तरीके से स्पष्ट कर दिया।
बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Really enjoyed the video, I wish text books were written this way.
