Kant's philosophy - Why compassion and a good heart don't make a good person

According to Kant we mean three different things when calling someone a good person, depending on the context and situation: We can call someone that because he has a good nature, a good heart or a good character. Only the last of those is truly morally good. Nature and heart together form the mode of sense of a person and this can make one more easy or hard to be around for others, but is neither morally good nor evil.Quote: 0:08Whether a person is good, can not be determined solely outwardly by his actions: 2:10Good-naturedness: 6:49Good-heartedness: 20:33Kant's rejection of the soft-minded morality of compassion: 35:46Compassion can easily lead to mere inactive lamenting: 47:02Compassion can easily make one self-righteous: 52:00Compassion can easily be outweighted by other feelings: 1:05:33Compassion is fickle: 1:12:03Compassion makes one easy to manipulate: 1:33:23The mode of the sense and the mode of thinking: 1:45:40Example of the worthlessness of leftist humanism and of the limits of empathy: 1:58:20Thanks: 2:18:10About the mode of sense, about human's mind and heart Kant talks at various places in his handwritten estate on morality: http://korpora.org/kant/aa19/ as well as his lectures on moral philosophy: https://www.archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes271imma | https://archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes272imma | https://archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes0027kant_s1s1/mode/2up.
