about Immanuel Kant?

According to Immanuel Kant moral
goodness is a commitment to duty





Doing what one ought to do can often be
difficult or painful involving sacrifice of
varying kinds.
Our personal
desires, feelings
and interests
What we ought to
do - DUTY
These 2 opposing forces
often come into conflict
Episodes of The Simpsons frequently
highlight the conflict between personal
desire, feelings and interests, on the
one hand, and the sense of moral
duty, on the other.

Each member of the Simpson family
contributes to the creation of a
complex moral atmosphere, in which
morality stands out in its significance
as duty precisely because the
contrary exists as well the
passionate desires, feelings, and
interests of strong personalities.
