Kant's Theory Of Virtue Ethics Analysis

According to Kant, “it is a person that is the source of value. A person is of infinite worth, and what a person has, what a person does, what a person believes, what a person enjoys are all dependent upon the person’s and the person’s autonomy. Kant says that the virtues themselves evenness of temper, patience, can be turned evil if they are used for evil” (O’ Sullivan & Pecorino, 2002). By the words of Kant it would seem that he believes that people have the ability to be good and bad but the choice between good or bad can be impacted by the moral beliefs and nature of the person. A person can decided to be bad if the make up of them or behavior favor morally bad behavior. Kant seems to be touching on an idea that order that caused for morally wrong actions should not be followed.
No killing, no physically harming others, no lies, no theft, no breaking promise” (O’ Sullivan & Pecorino, 2002). This is not idea that is unheard of because strict interpreters of morals, values, and religion feel that under any circumstances should you cause physical or emotional harm to a person. But is does not truly relate to a person who works for FBI, CIA, polices, military forces, etc. For them they are morally obligated to uphold laws, protect and serve, and help those in need. The everyday person that has not been put through the same mental and physical training such concepts would and should apply but not here. By Kant idea there would be no revolutions, rebellions, or activist movements of any form. History has a record of wars or violent event that may have caused the lives of others but have resulted in a better tomorrow. The focus is not on the death but what the people were actually fighting for or died
