One Thought Too Many
from Emma•ism · host Emma Søndergaard Jensen
In this episode, Bernard William’s “One Thought Too Many” objection to Kant’s account of moral motivation in the Groundwork is discussed. What it means for an actor to do the right thing for the right reason is analyzed in regard to Kant’s idea of acting from the motive of duty. Ultimately, it is sustained that acting from the motive of duty is what determines an act’s unconditional moral worth.
