Kant's philosophy - The moral duties towards others

from Kant's Philosophy · host The Voice of Reason

One part of the moral duties is made up of duties we have towards other human beings - towards humans, not animals or spirits or other beings - according to Kant; they aren't duties to avoid making others suffer or to bring them happiness, but rather they are duties of revering and increasing people's freedom. Quote: 0:08The deduction of the specific duties from the moral law in Kant's thinking: 1:25The division of the moral duties: 19:05We have moral duties only towards humans: 20:02Which duties we have towards others: 35:30Duties towards others are not about their happiness but their freedom: 39:48We have a duty to sustain ourselves through our own, useful work, instead of being parasites: 54:04We have a duty to restrict the use of the world's goods, so that others can also make use of them: 1:10:25Thanks: 1:56:07Specific duties Kant writes about mainly in his Metaphysics of Morals: https://ld.circuitdebater.org/w/archive_files/%5BImmanuel_Kant%5D_Kant_The_Metaphysics_of_Morals.pdf/507955836/%5BImmanuel_Kant%5D_Kant_The_Metaphysics_of_Morals.pdf.
