Kant's philosophy - The good example in morality or: Why we need heroes and saints

In morality other people should not be taken as a model, rather one should orient oneself directly on the moral law itself. Still the good example is important. From a good person we might not learn how we should act, but we learn that it is possible to act the way we ought to.Quote: 0:08The yardstick of morality should be the law itself, not other people: 1:30The good person serves as an example of the possibility of fulfilling the moral law: 17:15The role of Jesus in Kant's thought: 27:46One should avoid association with bad people: 44:36One should be an example of morality to others: 55:25One should put the veil of the love for humanity over the failings and shortcomings of people: 1:01:38One shouldn't try to find bad things even in the good person: 1:24:32Arrogance and hopelessness as the two cliffs of morality and rigorism and religion as their remedies: 1:35:30The emotional plague: 1:40:52Thanks: 1:59:53On the role of yardstick and example in morality Kant talks again and again in his lectures on moral philosophy: https://www.archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes271imma | https://archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes272imma | https://archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes0027kant_s1s1/mode/2up (I could not find any free English translations online.)Whoever wants to support my aufkläring work can do so via:https://ko-fi.com/jonathanivoloewerhttps://www.patreon.com/jonathanivoloewerhttps://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=VDDT7T7XHR77UThumbnail: www.hotpot.ai
