POPULARITY
Immanuel Kant was popular at his death. The whole town emptied out to see him. His last words were "it is good". But was his philosophy any good? In order to find out, we dive into Chapter 7 of Conjectures and Refutations: Kant's Critique and Cosmology, where Popper rescues Kant's reputation from the clutches of the dastardly German Idealists. We discuss Deontology vs consquentialism vs virtue ethics Kant's Categorical Imperative Kant's contributions to cosmology and politics Kant as a defender of the enlightenment Romanticism vs (German) idealism vs critical rationalism Kant's cosmology and cosmogony Kant's antimony and his proofs that the universe is both finite and infinite in time Kant's Copernican revolution and transcendental idealism Kant's morality Why Popper admired Kant so much, and why he compares him to Socrates Quotes Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one's understanding without guidance from another. This immaturity is self-imposed when its cause lies not in lack of understanding, but in lack of resolve and courage to use it without guidance from another. Sapere Aude! "Have courage to use your own understanding!" --that is the motto of enlightenment. - An Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment? (Translated by Ted Humphrey, Hackett Publishing, 1992) (Alternate translation from Popper: Enlightenment is the emancipation of man from a state of self-imposed tutelage . . . of incapacity to use his own intelligence without external guidance. Such a state of tutelage I call ‘self-imposed' if it is due, not to lack of intelligence, but to lack of courage or determination to use one's own intelligence without the help of a leader. Sapere aude! Dare to use your own intelligence! This is the battle-cry of the Enlightenment.) - C&R, Chap 6 What lesson did Kant draw from these bewildering antinomies? He concluded that our ideas of space and time are inapplicable to the universe as a whole. We can, of course, apply the ideas of space and time to ordinary physical things and physical events. But space and time themselves are neither things nor events: they cannot even be observed: they are more elusive. They are a kind of framework for things and events: something like a system of pigeon-holes, or a filing system, for observations. Space and time are not part of the real empir- ical world of things and events, but rather part of our mental outfit, our apparatus for grasping this world. Their proper use is as instruments of observation: in observing any event we locate it, as a rule, immediately and intuitively in an order of space and time. Thus space and time may be described as a frame of reference which is not based upon experience but intuitively used in experience, and properly applicable to experience. This is why we get into trouble if we misapply the ideas of space and time by using them in a field which transcends all possible experience—as we did in our two proofs about the universe as a whole. ... To the view which I have just outlined Kant chose to give the ugly and doubly misleading name ‘Transcendental Idealism'. He soon regretted this choice, for it made people believe that he was an idealist in the sense of denying the reality of physical things: that he declared physical things to be mere ideas. Kant hastened to explain that he had only denied that space and time are empirical and real — empirical and real in the sense in which physical things and events are empirical and real. But in vain did he protest. His difficult style sealed his fate: he was to be revered as the father of German Idealism. I suggest that it is time to put this right. - C&R, Chap 6 Kant believed in the Enlightenment. He was its last great defender. I realize that this is not the usual view. While I see Kant as the defender of the Enlightenment, he is more often taken as the founder of the school which destroyed it—of the Romantic School of Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel. I contend that these two interpretations are incompatible. Fichte, and later Hegel, tried to appropriate Kant as the founder of their school. But Kant lived long enough to reject the persistent advances of Fichte, who proclaimed himself Kant's successor and heir. In A Public Declaration Concerning Fichte, which is too little known, Kant wrote: ‘May God protect us from our friends. . . . For there are fraudulent and perfidious so-called friends who are scheming for our ruin while speaking the language of good-will.' - C&R, Chap 6 As Kant puts it, Copernicus, finding that no progress was being made with the theory of the revolving heavens, broke the deadlock by turning the tables, as it were: he assumed that it is not the heavens which revolve while we the observers stand still, but that we the observers revolve while the heavens stand still. In a similar way, Kant says, the problem of scientific knowledge is to be solved — the problem how an exact science, such as Newtonian theory, is possible, and how it could ever have been found. We must give up the view that we are passive observers, waiting for nature to impress its regularity upon us. Instead we must adopt the view that in digesting our sense-data we actively impress the order and the laws of our intellect upon them. Our cosmos bears the imprint of our minds. - C&R, Chap 6 From Kant the cosmologist, the philosopher of knowledge and of science, I now turn to Kant the moralist. I do not know whether it has been noticed before that the fundamental idea of Kant's ethics amounts to another Copernican Revolution, analogous in every respect to the one I have described. For Kant makes man the lawgiver of morality just as he makes him the lawgiver of nature. And in doing so he gives back to man his central place both in his moral and in his physical universe. Kant humanized ethics, as he had humanized science. ... Kant's Copernican Revolution in the field of ethics is contained in his doctrine of autonomy—the doctrine that we cannot accept the command of an authority, however exalted, as the ultimate basis of ethics. For whenever we are faced with a command by an authority, it is our responsibility to judge whether this command is moral or immoral. The authority may have power to enforce its commands, and we may be powerless to resist. But unless we are physically prevented from choosing the responsibility remains ours. It is our decision whether to obey a command, whether to accept authority. - C&R, Chap 6 Stepping back further to get a still more distant view of Kant's historical role, we may compare him with Socrates. Both were accused of perverting the state religion, and of corrupting the minds of the young. Both denied the charge; and both stood up for freedom of thought. Freedom meant more to them than absence of constraint; it was for both a way of life. ... To this Socratic idea of self-sufficiency, which forms part of our western heritage, Kant has given a new meaning in the fields of both knowledge and morals. And he has added to it further the idea of a community of free men—of all men. For he has shown that every man is free; not because he is born free, but because he is born with the burden of responsibility for free decision. - C&R, Chap 6 Socials Follow us on Twitter at @IncrementsPod, @BennyChugg, @VadenMasrani Come join our discord server!

The tireless efforts of Pope Saint John Paul II gave us the timeless Theology of the Body – and that has provided sound philosophical grounding from which to handle the ever shifting sands of moral turpitude of our modern era. Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse and Dr. Deborah Savage discuss the Catholic Church's teachings on marriage, family, and human sexuality, particularly in the context of the challenges posed by the sexual revolution. They explore the importance of lived experience in understanding these teachings, the implications of recent changes within the Pontifical Academy for Life, and the philosophical foundations laid by John Paul II. The discussion emphasizes the need for a balance between lived experience and objective truth, the role of self-governance, and the significance of virtue in achieving true freedom. 00:00 - The Catholic Church's Stance on Contraception 02:55 - The Role of Lived Experience in Theology 05:49 - Response to the Pontifical Academy for Life's Document 09:05 - The Impact of the Sexual Revolution 11:58 - Bridging Theory and Experience 14:52 - Understanding Human Acts and Impulses 18:12 - John Paul II's Anthropology and Personalism 20:51 - The Importance of Self-Governance 24:03 - The Personalist Norm vs. Kant's Categorical Imperative 26:55 - The Path to Virtue and True Freedom 30:08 - Real Stories from the Frontlines Dr. Deborah Savage joined the Theology faculty during the 2021-22 academic year, having taught both philosophy and theology at the St. Paul Seminary School of Divinity at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota for the previous thirteen years.

What if morality was law-governed in the same way as logic and physics?The Hotel Bar Sessions hosts close out Season 11 with a deep dive into one of philosophy's most important moral principles: Immanuel Kant's “Categorical Imperative.” They carefully unpack Kant's three formulations of the “moral law”—the Universality formulation, the Humanity formulation, and the Kingdom of Ends formulation—to demonstrate how Kant sought to ground morality in rationality, universality, and freedom.Through accessible examples– punctuality, lying, slavery, and even prostitution– the hosts illustrate Kant's vision of the moral law as an unconditional principle, independent of personal preferences or consequences. They also clarify common misconceptions, like conflating Kant's universality formulation with the Golden Rule, and examine how his ideas prioritize duty over subjective inclinations.This is a spirited debate about Kant's relevance today, questioning the challenges of applying the rigid moral framework of the Categorical Imperative to complex modern realities. The co-hosts address critiques of Kant's metaphysical assumptions, his treatment of non-human entities, and the potential for misusing his ideas to justify exclusion. Despite these critiques, the hosts argue for the enduring importance of Kantian ethics in safeguarding the dignity and autonomy of all rational beings.Filled with humor, thoughtful analysis, and practical insights, this episode invites listeners to reflect on the philosophical foundations of morality and their own ethical commitments.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/episode-165-kants-categorical-imperative-------------------If you enjoy Hotel Bar Sessions podcast, please be sure to subscribe and submit a rating/review!

We do not want pedophiles to ask as if their action would form a universal law. Nor are we interested in someone like Napolean or Stalin being the source of our law. The Biblical version is generally assumed to mean we act in a way that models what we want done to us. But this would mean the world would be limited to perpetuating what sinful man can envision as desirable. But what if our actions were predicated on what others should be doing in what would be a utopia in our view? What kind of person would these people be, and therefore, what sort of person would this kind of Golden Rule turn us into?
This episode explores the notion that morality hinges on personal commitment and responsibility, even when there's disagreement about basic principles like whether pain is bad. It asserts that standing up for one's values is not tyrannical and that recognizing good and bad consequences is a strong foundation for a secular morality, despite issues with consequentialist thinking. The episode delves into universalizability—the idea that if something is bad for one person, it's bad for others in similar situations. This principle is echoed across history, from Confucius's Golden Rule to Kant's Categorical Imperative, and is presented as a core element of moral reasoning. While the text acknowledges that there are complex debates surrounding universalizability, it argues that these do not undermine its practical use in everyday moral decisions. In conclusion, the episode debunks the claim that atheists are inherently amoral, highlighting that both believers and non-believers must make their own moral choices, independent of divine command. Morality, it suggests, can be rooted in the recognition that certain things have inherent value, guiding us to act accordingly. The text underscores the importance of consistency in moral reasoning and concludes that the challenge of being good is universal, regardless of one's religious beliefs.

What does the pair of films, Fitzcarraldo, and the documentary about the making of that film, Burden of Dreams, tell us about the similarity between the main character, and the film's director/producer Werner Herzog? How do both illustrate Kant's notion of the Categorical Imperative in their sometimes-reckless use of indigenous people? How do the indigenous people illustrate that same concept in their use of Fitzcarraldo and his boat? On a related note; how does the film typify the 1980s era in film-making, when some directors took dangerous measures in order to achieve their cinematic visions? How does the film and meta-narrative of the documentary resonate with the era of the rubber barons which it portrays? Why does Herzog repeatedly explore the theme of jungle overpowering man, and man overcoming nature in his films?
Callers ask me about toxicity on the Left, the Twitter Files, Ana Kasparian, how to pick your battles in arguments, Judith Jarvis Thomson's abortion essay, Norman Finkelstein's take on Philip Roth's novel American Pastoral, Philippa Foot, Kant's Categorical Imperative, and more.

In the first part of a two-part episode, Heaven discusses the CBS drama, THE GOOD WIFE. For the first part of the episode, Heaven goes over the show's competition with the emergence of the preigious cable dramas coming onto the scene, how the series premiered early in the Obama administration, leaning into the liberal politics of the time, as well as be critical of the some of the administration's missteps, and how Kant's Categorical Imperative and Nietszche's view of nihilism play into two separate arcs in the character trajectory of the protagonist, Alicia Florrick, and how she becomes an anti-heroine over the course of the series.Support Me:https://linktr.ee/FromMyLipsPod

More at https://www.philosophytalk.org/shows/what-would-kant-do. German idealist and moral philosopher Immanuel Kant is probably best known for his "Categorical Imperative," which says that you should act following moral rules you could rationally support as universal law. In other words, do only what you would have everyone else do. But are Kant's rules really a good guide to action? Does he have anything to say about things people confront in everyday life, like friendship, manners, or gossip? Is Kant overly optimistic about our capacity to use reason and choose freely? Or was he right that rationality is the key to moral progress? Josh and Ray do right by Karen Stohr from Georgetown University, author of "Choosing Freedom: A Kantian Guide to Life."
Ought we to try to outdo Jesus? Kant suggested we live as if our behaviour would serve as a model for all human beings. This sounds suspiciously like something God the Father might have said to Jesus. Jesus is the guide to human behaviour and no person is likely to serve as an alternative guide, or even a supplemental one. No one, in my opinion, ought to try and live as Kant lived. He had his good points, but what he lived, was certainly not a model life. What ought we as sinners and mortal men of flesh, strive for? What is the True Categorical Imperative?

Today on Categorical Imperative is part one of a two part episode On the public battle during the ratification debates on Judicial Review. Looking at it from the perspective of two of the most well-written series of essays from that time. This is also the first episode of an idea I plan to make a regular feature of that I am tentatively calling *The Founders in Context*. This is also meant to shed a little light on a long neglected thesis by Brutus giving a downright prophetic warning, about how Judicial Review is liable to collapse into Judicial supremacy. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/legaleseshow/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/legaleseshow/support

In this episode, we discuss Immanuel Kant's famous "Categorical Imperative." An imperative is a command- you ought to do such and such. Kant argues there are two kinds of Imperatives: Hypothetical imperatives and Categorical imperatives. A hypothetical imperative is something you should do if you have a particular goal in mind: for example, if you want to lose weight, you should exercise and eat healthy. Categorical imperatives, on the other hand, are things you should do regardless of your particular desires or goals. So, what is the categorical imperative?

In the third episode of the Spinoza Triad John Gibbs, Richard Miller and Dan Rowland consider the film V for Vendetta. V for Vendetta is a 2005 dystopian political action film based on the 1988 graphic novel by Alan Moore and David Lloyd. The film is set in an alternative future where a neo-fascist totalitarian regime has subjugated the United Kingdom. It centres on V (portrayed by Hugo Weaving), a masked freedom fighter who attempts to ignite a revolution through elaborate terrorist acts, and Evey Hammond (portrayed by Natalie Portman) a young woman caught up in V's mission. Taking the film as a starting point we discuss, the morality of violence, the Frankfurt School, Kant's Categorical Imperative, Zizek's critique of the left as well as Jungian and Lacanian cultural analysis. https://anchor.fm/john-gibbs1/message https://sites.google.com/site/thepoliticsteacherorg/home email: jfgibbs105@gmail.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/john-gibbs1/message

A short code of behaviors and rules to go by: - Noninterference is the highest ideal - Nobody owes you anything: time, money, sympathy, attention - Learn your own history and the history of the industry and country in which you are operating within. - Just because you are dissatisfied with current circumstances of reality, it doesn’t deny the fact of those circumstances or the fact that you must live with reality. If the circumstances are abhorrent to you, take steps to change them - otherwise, you are proving that you are able to live with the fact of their existence. - When ethnic cultural traditions and gestures conflict against your feelings or current beliefs regarding conduct, it is best to go by your own instinctive guidance. - When there is nothing to say (good or bad), don’t waste your breath or time - Devote all your time to improving your skills and knowledge - Time away from improving skills and knowledge is time (and life) frittered away. - Time is the most valuable resource we have. - Resist the urge to correct people on their beliefs and delusions. You do not know everything either, and people need their self constructions to survive. - Do not get bogged down in pointless arguments of reality or taste interpretations. Most likely, you will be unable to influence the other person’s perceptions and at worst you will lose an acquaintance or friend. - Be kind to those you have nothing in common with. Be brutally honest with those you love. - You are most likely just Average (across all indicating points), not exceptional, not a leader in your industry and not ever likely to become famous or wealthy (unless you were born in fortunate circumstances, i.e. to wealthy parents) because most people on Earth fall within opposite extremes, in the median. This is fine and does not make you any less special to yourself or your friends and family. Narcissism and/or a sense of exceptionalism does not change the fact of your basic-averageness. You are also not the biggest victim by not being wealthy, famous, or exceptional. - Escapism and profit-seeking are the tenents by which American culture runs - If it’s not your fight, it’s not your fight. Do not risk life and limb trying to be the hero/savior or, even worse, offer empty gestures and signal virtue without putting time and money behind those gestures. Prayers, thoughts, and social media posts are free and corrosive: giving people a false belief in their own effectiveness and goodness. Most aspiring heroes are signaling for their own self-serving ends or trying to claim moral superiority. - Being involved in charitable work or philanthropy does not necessarily make you a better or moral person. - The days of Kant’s Categorical Imperative are over: he himself never traveled more than 16 km from his birthplace, so it was easy for him to believe that what he applied to his life could be the universal guidelines for everyone else on Earth. So much for “Enlightenment” and tolerance of other cultures (it is easy to think you have all the answers if you are ignorant of other systems and cultures!) As far as self-absorption goes, philosophers beat artists and even politicians in this regard. - For those who are convinced of their own “purity” and others’ “corruption”: take a look in the mirror and see if you might have some blind spots yourself. Who made you the judge of morality? - Take these and every other guideline with a grain of salt: circumstances are ever-changing and in flux; nothing is absolute! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
This week on The Open Door we will discuss core ethical considerations. Our special guest, in absentia, is the late and decidedly great Mortimer Adler, who is represented by Elaine Weissman of the Center of the Great Ideas. Adler's short, and perhaps surprising, sermon on The Golden Rule is the context of our discussion. Adler delivered it in 1991 at Christ Church in Aspen, Colorado. We plan on addressing the following questions. Please don't hesitate to add your own!1. Just what is The Golden Rule?2. How does The Golden Rule compare with Immanuel Kant's Categorical Imperative?3. Mortimer Adler argues that The Golden Rule does not adequately capture what ethics involves. Why does he claim that, despite its welcome universal scope, it does not have real content?4. At the heart of ethical reasoning we find two pairs of concepts: right and wrong along with good and evil. Which pair is primary and why?5. Is there an inescapable conflict between egoism (selfishness) and altruism? How does Plato's Parable of the Ring of Gyges highlight this conflict?6. How can an understanding of the cardinal virtues (prudence, temperance, courage, and justice) help us analyze this supposed conflict?7. Is there a unity of the cardinal virtues? If so, what is its source? If not, how are we to decide which virtue is most important in a given situation?8. Are specific acts, on careful consideration, unique and so never to be repeated?9. When all is said and done, is happiness the universal end of human action?10. What are some political implications of our discussion to this point?
In a programme first broadcast in 2017, Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss how, in the Enlightenment, Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) sought to define the difference between right and wrong by applying reason, looking at the intention behind actions rather than at consequences. He was inspired to find moral laws by natural philosophers such as Newton and Leibniz, who had used reason rather than emotion to analyse the world around them and had identified laws of nature. Kant argued that when someone was doing the right thing, that person was doing what was the universal law for everyone, a formulation that has been influential on moral philosophy ever since and is known as the Categorical Imperative. Arguably even more influential was one of his reformulations, echoed in The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in which he asserted that humanity has a value of an entirely different kind from that placed on commodities. Kant argued that simply existing as a human being was valuable in itself, so that every human owed moral responsibilities to other humans and was owed responsibilities in turn.

Chapter 2 Verses 71-72. The lecture was given by Swami Tattwamayananda on September 27, 2019.-55th through 72nd verses of 2nd chapter of Gita discuss the characteristics of an enlightened person, how he deals with this world and how he is different from someone who is not enlightened.-72nd verse: In the midst of being engaged in daily activities, he is able to connect with something higher than the mind (“yoga”), and attain “Shanti” (inner contentment), which is the positive, spontaneous and natural state of the mind.-The mind of an enlightened person is like an ocean, always undisturbed in the midst of daily duties and obligations. -The ocean neither rejects the rivers pouring waters into it nor goes out of the way to welcome them.-If our mind is like a small stream, then even a tiny stream can cause it to overflow.-True nature of the mind is one with Atman. Anxiety is alien to the mind. Mind connects with external objects through the senses – when it cannot attain what it desires, it becomes agitated.-To identify its true nature, the mind should be linked to Atman (“yoga”), which is all-pervading, immanent, nature of bliss and always in a state of equilibrium. Then mind becomes peaceful.-Psychological problems do not have permanent solutions at psychological level. The solution lies beyond the mind, at a spiritual level.-The spiritually enlightened person is detached. He realizes that his true identity is beyond the body and mind and that “his real I” won’t be the enjoyer of empirical comforts. He as the “real I” is present everywhere and in everything.-Hindu metaphysics approach existence from three angles. (1) Absolute reality or Paramarthika-sat, which is Atman (2) Empirical reality or Vyavaharika-sat, which is the changing world and (3) Conceptual reality, which we create in dreams.-One of the causes of anxiety is that we expect permanence from things that are inherently impermanent. What we experience in everyday life is vyavaharika-sat. We need to understand that there is a transcendental reality beyond the empirical and approach pleasant and unpleasant situations in the empirical world without being affected by them. We should have a transcendental link to paramarthika-sat.-Once we become aware of the Absolute Reality, we become established in the state of lasting contentment and peace. When the body comes to an end, we become one with the Absolute Reality and attain absolute liberation.-This lasting peace can also be attained while living in this world. Buddha and Christ are examples of enlightened humans, who were active after enlightenment. They just looked at the world from a different perspective.-Per Shankaracharya, one does not have to wait till the end. The divine truth can be attained by anyone who follows spiritual disciplines such as (1) Discrimination between unreal and the Real (2) Renunciation of what is unreal (3) Self-control: shama, dama, uparati, titiksha, shraddha and samadhana (4) Mumukshutam (5) Shravanam (6) Mananam (7) Nidishyasana.-One should look upon all their duties and actions as “swadharma”. Do your duties with sanctity and sacredness - not for results, but for spiritual evolution. Then every action becomes a tool to achieve inner contentment. One feels: “I have done what I ought to have done” and “I have attained what I have ought to have attained”.-Swadharma goes beyond Kant’s concept of duty and Categorical Imperative. It adds a sense of sanctity, sacredness and provides a path to inner contentment.-Gita prescribes three paths for people with different temperaments. Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and Jnana Yoga.-Karma Yoga: Our active tendencies can be given a spiritual upliftment. “Karma” means action and “Yoga” means a spiritual link. By giving every action a spiritual link, our karma becomes karma-yoga. Detachment in karma-yoga means that mind is linked to a higher ideal and not enslaved by the results.-Bhakti Yoga: Our natural faith and religious practices are given a higher spiritual direction. As we evolve, we go beyond rituals and experience the presence of God both inside and outside the place of worship.-True religion can be practiced every minute, in every action and in every thought. As we evolve, the line of demarcation between secular and spiritual vanishes. We see the whole humanity as one spiritual family.-Who is the highest devotee of God? “One who feels the presence of God in everything, everywhere, in every action and in every word” AND “one who feels the presence of whole humanity and creation in God.”-Jnana Yoga is the third path and is suited for those who may be agnostics and opposed to creationism. They can use this path to realize that there is one divine reality present everywhere and in everything.-God is only an approximation of the highest non-dualistic experience. A sincere seeker will go beyond the conventional God idea and realize that the divine reality is present in all of us. At experience level, there is no difference – only perfect harmony exists.-Reference to Shankaracharya and Madhwa.-Shankaracharya on Jivan-mukti-Evil can be explained by our incomplete spiritual evolution and that we have different tendencies/samskaras. We can neutralize it with our own personal effort and increasing the percentage of positive tendencies in the world.-In Kali-yuga, we have universal access to great ideas. This can be used as a tool for positive change.-Prelude to third chapter of Gita (Karma Yoga) is provided. We cannot keep quiet mentally/physically even for a split second. At the same time, our actions may bring unpleasant results. This helplessness of the mind can be addressed by feeding it positive spiritual food. Lord Krishna then unfolds a unique strategy of how to bring spirituality/contemplation in every action and moment of our life.

Ethics in marketing? Yes. Marketing needs ethics, too. After all, many people say “marketing” like it's a four-letter word. Senior Staff Instructor at LinkedIn Learning, Morten Rand-Hendriksen joins us this week on WPblab to talk about ethics in marketing. With a passion for learning new things (including ballroom dancing with his wife), philosophy, and accessibility, Morten is well-known as an advocate for all things forward-facing in tech but realizes the ethics implications. Join us this week for the live chat to ask Morten your questions.Twitter: @mor10Site: http://mor10.com/LinkedIn Learning & Lynda.comStudied Philosophy at UniversityEthics 101 (definition) … there are two terms you hear all the time – ethics & morals – two different aspects of the same thing (two sides of the same coin)Morals – internalized understanding of what is right and wrongEthics – a human definition of systems that you use to define what is right and wrongIf you look at Ethical Theory, you are looking at Moral Traditions – confusingly!There is often a disconnect in understanding the terminology between the two“Cryptomining is a good example of why the web design industry needs ethics”Ethics (as defined by Moren) – the rules that we create to allow us to judge individual actions and see if they are justifiable in a moral context“Why don’t people in the WordPress community copy each others themes and release them in a different name” – there’s nothing that explicitly prevents it, but there are ethics that keep them from doing soKant’s Categorical Imperative (wikipedia) – act as if you want your act to be a universal law – this is how people should always behaveWe need ethics in marketing – as you release this thing into the world, how do you want it to be handledThere’s a common misunderstanding that ethics provides you a list of dos and don’ts – it doesn’t – that is dogmatic moralism. Rather, ethics give you the tools to at least attempt to think through the decisions you make, before you turn those decisions to action (and see what the consequences might be)Example: There is code that you can currently install on your site that runs crypto mining processes on the computers of everyone who visits your site – generates money and sends it back to the owner of the siteSalon is using adblocking readers' CPU power to mine cryptocurrencySalon to ad blockers:Can we use your browser to mine cryptocurrency?Salon has every right to hijack your laptop to mine cryptocurrency while you read it – businessinsider.comThe JavaScript Supply Chain Paradox:SRI, CSP and Trust in Third Party LibrariesDonate Your TabConsequentialism – what are the consequences of your actions and do those consequences improve the common good? It is okay if some people are disadvantaged as long as the large majority are advantaged.In the case of the Crypto code – everyone is disadvantaged but the website owner, so Consequentialism would say – don’t do this!Duty ethics – you have to perform acts in a way that you would want every other person to behave in that same situation, not because you have to, but because you actually believe that’s how it should be doneYou have a duty of care to everyone who interacts with your website – unless you explicitly state that you are doing this, you are failing your visitorsVirtue Ethics – what kind of person do you become by performing the act. This is the oldest of these theories. The idea is that a human can only become virtuous by aspiring to a set of virtues.Is this the type of person that I want to be? That I would want everyone else to be?Capability Approach – the morality of an act has to be judged on what capabilities it grants the person it is acted upon. Does it improve their capabilities?Start thinking about how what we are doing effects the ends user. What kind of future am I building for the people who are using this site?A tiny toolkit to help you answer your own questions!What kind of world am I building for the end user?Who do I become by doing this?Do I want every other person to do this in the same circumstance?Am I increasing the overall utility for everyone? (everyone might be end user)What is the value of getting an influencer to say something about your product?You think they have more authority (there is value / money in that)It’s because people innately believe what they say – even if not true – and respond to that influenceIf you “ghost write” a review and make it seem as if it’s written entirely from the influencer, then the whole trust equation falls apart – your duty of care (ethically) would require you to disclose that information to your audienceThe “Milli Vanilli” effect100% GPL – if you aren’t 100% compliant, you can’t sponsor a WordCamp – how do ethics apply hereSomeone has to make a decision about who is affected and who is not, it can become a very subjective decision. In WordPress, that person is often Matt Mullenweg – we are granting him license to do this by following alongThe WordPress community largely rises and falls based on whether people are willing to buy into the importance and need of GPLEthics is complicated – every single person who is in the conversation will have a different viewpoint – if it’s a good ethical conversation, you touch on all the pain points enough that people are satisfied and everything has been accounted forIf we start over – what capabilities should we grant the end user and how do those capabilities help them improve their lives. One of the big values is that WordPress is free and (relatively) safe to use … you can formulate some overall idea. We are granting the capability to publish to the internet anyone who has access to any internet connectionThere is a constant battle between wanting to be the type of person who creates things for the WordPress community to freely use (open source) and also needing to be able to provide an income for yourself and your family – what is our ethical responsibility to ourselves and the end user?Bridget: If you’re going to build a product and you decide to start with those 4 ‘toolkit’ questions as part of your branding standards, then you would already be about 70% of the way thereWe are building a world for our end users – what kind of world do we want to build for them? What are the consequences of our choices? Ethics should not be a wet blanket on our creativity, it should be a hearth that keeps all that creativity from ‘burning down the house’What did we do wrong here? How did we end up in the place? What can we do to keep it from happening again?Tools of the Week—Bridget: HemmingwayApp.comJason: still using SetApp – but wishes it had Magnet (allows you to move items around on the screen to the edges and makes the windows snap)Morten: Pocket – save articles to read later – strips out all the ads and just gives you the text – it can also read it back to you!

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss how, in the Enlightenment, Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) sought to define the difference between right and wrong by applying reason, looking at the intention behind actions rather than at consequences. He was inspired to find moral laws by natural philosophers such as Newton and Leibniz, who had used reason rather than emotion to analyse the world around them and had identified laws of nature. Kant argued that when someone was doing the right thing, that person was doing what was the universal law for everyone, a formulation that has been influential on moral philosophy ever since and is known as the Categorical Imperative. Arguably even more influential was one of his reformulations, echoed in The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in which he asserted that humanity has a value of an entirely different kind from that placed on commodities. Kant argued that simply existing as a human being was valuable in itself, so that every human owed moral responsibilities to other humans and was owed responsibilities in turn. With Alison Hills Professor of Philosophy at St John's College, Oxford David Oderberg Professor of Philosophy at the University of Reading and John Callanan Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at King's College, London Producer: Simon Tillotson.

Connor and Dan discuss the philosophy of the categorical imperative.
You've heard of the Categorical Imperative, eh? Here is the conversation Dr. Schultz and I had about Kant.
In this episode, Stephen Engstrom discusses the principle that Immanuel Kant thought to underlie all of ethics. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Consequentialism vs. Deontological Ethics. In the Deep Space Nine episode "In the Pale Moonlight," was Captain Sisko justified in using less-then-honorable means to bring the Romulans into the war with the Dominion in order to end the war and save lives? Or were Sisko's actions unjustified because they violated universally valid moral rules and principles? In this episode of Meta Treks, hosts Mike Morrison and Zachary Fruhling analyze "In the Pale Moonlight" from the contrasting ethical theories of consequentalist ethics (or utilitarianism) and deontological ethics (or rule-based ethics). Mike and Zachary consider the applicability of different forms of consequentialism, such as Jeremy Bentham's quantitative approach to utilitarianism, John Start Mill's more qualitative approach to utilitarianism, and rule utilitarianism as a middle-ground between ethics emphasizing consequences and ethics emphasizing rules. This episode of Meta Treks covers the crucial concepts of deontological/Kantian ethics, such as Kant's Categorical Imperative, the notion that some actions are intrinsically right or wrong regardless of consequences, and treating others as ends in themselves and not merely as means to your own ends. Mike and Zachary wrap up the conversation with a discussion of whether the justification for the Prime Directive is chiefly consequentialist or whether the Prime Directive, as the Federation's highest law or rule, is grounded in the intrinsic worth of the natural development of other worlds and cultures.

One of the great debates in philosophy is whether or not moral rules are created by humans or exist independently from us as absolute truths. The German philosopher Immanuel Kant believed that we could discover objective moral principles, and his theory of the Categorical Imperative was meant to give us a framework for distinguishing between right and wrong. In this episode we give an overview of the Categorical Imperative, including some famous thought experiments that argue both for and against Kant’s idea. We also learn about Kant’s rules for throwing a good dinner party, marvel at Mark’s absolute lack of knowledge about all things Scottish and answer some listener mail about our tagline.

(@yukaichou) and check out his website: http://www.yukaichou.com/ Kantian Universalism An idea originated by the philosopher Emmanuel Kant as the "Categorical Imperative" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categorical_imperative "Act only according to that maxim whereby you can, at the same time, will that it should become a universal law." in simpler terms, "if everyone acted this way, would that be a world you'd want to live in". For example, should you borrow money without intending to pay it back? Kant would say no, because if it were a universal action, nobody would lend money to anyone because they know they will never be repaid. Useful Prosumption: For the "Useful" part, listen to Episode 36 of "The Tim Ferriss Show" (podcast) with Alexis Ohanian - for the Prosumption part, read "Revolutionary Wealth" by Alvin and Heidi Toffler Five books to take to space list! 1. Bill Bryson, "Neither Here Nor There: Travels in Europe" 2. Bertrand Russell "History of Western Philosophy" 3. Neil Gaiman's "Sandman Omnibus" (a giant collection that is still only one book - bam!) 4. The biggest "X-Men" omnibus I can find (again, technically ONE book!) 5. David Kaiser, "How the Hippies Saved Physics: Science, Counterculture, and the Quantum Revival" Awesome literary linkage: http://zenhabits.net/20-amazing-and-essential-non-fiction-books-to-enrich-your-library/
