“In Religion within the Limits of Reason Alone he goes so far as to claim that conscientious moral judgement cannot err. The voice of conscience, which is our internal moral judge, can serve as a ‘guiding thread’ (Leitfaden) in matters of doubt.” ReasonReligionConscienceKantMoral Judgment Book:Kant's Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals: A Commentary Source: Kant's Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals: A Commentary
“In the Critique of Practical Reason, Kant makes it quite clear that sympathetic feelings are often welcome, amiable, desirable, beautiful. They can under certain conditions be good objectively, all things considered. But they are not morally good (V 82.18–25). A happy, well-rounded character is an ideal that lies beyond the sphere of Kant’s conception of morality.” BeautyMoralHappyGoodFeelingSympathyKantGroundworkCritique Of Practical Reason Author:Jens Timmermann
