    Deontology is a moral theory that evaluates actions based on whether they are done from a sense of duty. It focuses on the inherent rightness or wrongness of actions themselves, not the consequences of those actions. The main proponent of deontology was Immanuel Kant, who argued that morality comes from rational will and autonomy - acting from self-determined principles rather than external influences. Kant proposed the categorical imperative as a test of whether actions are morally right - they must be universalizable and not treat people merely as a means to an end.

    Responsibility
    • PROPONENT OF DEOTOLOGY
    • EMMANUEL KANT (1724-1804)
    German Enlightenment philosopher who wrote one of the
    most important works on moral philosophy. “We human beings, hava
    the Faculty called Rational will, which is the capacity to act according
    to principles that we determine for ourselves”
    • Rationality – mental faculty to construct ideas amd thoughts that arr
    beyond our unmediate surroundings.

    • Autonomy – opposite of heteromy


    - self –law.

    Heteronomy- other’s law


    • Free choice- determinable only by inclination would be animal choice.

    • Pure reason- rationality was desemble as the that are beyond one’s
    inmediate surroundings.

    • Universalizability- A substances moral theory immediately


    promulgates the specific actions that comprise that theory.

    Example. 10 Commandments
    • “act only according to sych a macim, by which you can at onece will
    that it become a universal law.”(Ak.4:421).

    • Categorical imperchive- provides a procedural way of identifying the


    rightness or wrongness of an action.

    • Four Elements
    Maximum- consists of a rule that we live by in our day-to-day
    wives. It depicts the patterns of our bahavior.p
    • Agency- A moral agent is a person who has the ability to discern
    right from wrong and to be held accountable for his or her own
    actions. Moral agents have a moral responsibility not to cause
    unjustified harm.

    • Rational Will- Rationality is permissibility. It is easy to prove


    that if the notions of a belief's being “justified” or “rational” are
    normative at all, then thepermissibility of a belief is sufficient
    for the belief's being justified orrational.
