Lesson 5

Kant and Deontology

Brain and Heart Drill No.1

Think and share an instance in your life where you accept rules/laws that are right and reject
those that you think are irrational and impermissible because they are self-contradictory.
What did you feel?

I believe that our home, our workplace, and everywhere I go are the places in my life where I
have accepted the rules and laws. I believed that laws and rules were crucial because they would
direct us in the proper direction and help us make the best decisions possible at every turn of our
lives.

MY NOTES:

 Deontology is an ethical theory that uses rules to distinguish right from

wrong.
 Associated with philosopher Immanuel Kant. It is believed that ethical
actions follow universal moral laws like, don’t lie, don’t steal and, don’t
cheat.
 Deontology doesn’t require weighing the costs and benefits of a situation
 Deontology can produce results that many people find unacceptable.
