Immanuel Kant Essay Business Ethics
Immanuel Kant constantly stressed that we have a sense of duty that follows a law like characteristic, and in turn we are all autonomy individuals. We as human beings are self- law giving, and constantly seek to harmonize our realm of ends. Our realm of ends allows us to follow a universal law which will lead us to bettering each other through rational actions. However, rationality is decided through our reason, and our reason is to create happiness in the end.

In Kant’s second section he states that, “If reason infallibly determines the will, the actions which such a being recognizes as objectively necessary are also subjectively necessary.” Kant is telling us that our reason determines what we want to be, and as humans we want happiness. We recognize our actions as subjectively and objectively necessary, meaning that what we do is proven to be right, and also morally right. As a majority we base our actions on morals, and our self-law giving supports these morals (for the most part). That is why morality is so important, because if we are the ones to decide what is right and wrong, then technically our well-being is up to us. An example is the Nike sweat shops, there wasn’t a law monitoring their working conditions or pay. But Nike’s autonomic power was used for immoral actions in third world countries. Nike’s immoral actions caused the suffering and unhappiness for many people which is not the realm of ends our world aims
