These are universal law‚ ends as a means and the importance of intention in conducting of human behaviour. Firstly‚ according to Kant‚ one’s action should be universally valid.

Among Immanuel Kant’s (1724–1804) most influential contributions to philosophy is his development of the transcendental argument. In Kant’s conception‚ an argument of this kind begins with a compelling premise about our thought‚ experience‚ or knowledge‚ and then reasons to a conclusion that is a substantive and unobvious presupposition and necessary condition of this premise.

In the same time era‚ philosopher Friedrich Schiller satirized Kant’s argument by stating that if a person does a good deed for a friend naturally because that person is his friend‚ then that person is not virtuous.

according to Kant? For hundreds of years questions such as what is enlightenment and how can we be enlightened were asked‚ and many different answers were given. Some tell that it is all about being educated‚ knowing few languages or being a great mathematician or a writer; others‚ on contrary‚ say that is not about academic education‚ but about education of our souls‚ that brings harmony and serenity. But every witness has its own truth. So in 1784‚ philosopher Immanuel Kant wrote “What
