What I expect to learn:
From the title itself how do you take rights seriously?
Quote:
“When I conceive a hypothetical imperative in general, I do not know beforehand what it will contain-until its condition is given. But if I conceive a categorical imperative, I know at once it contains”
Another topic discussed in this piece is the famous how did rights went wrong to those who have no idea about it? wherein such a person who will act to or interact with their surroundings should know if his/her actions can be followed by others and if not so it is considered to be immoral. This implies that the person beforehand doing a particular action should be able to analyze that his/her actions are for so good.
After a brief description on what a good thing and how you can actually know if the good thing done by a certain person is good or it was done for self enrichment of the said person.
According to Immanuel Kant good will can only be distinguish as good if the doer had no other reason aside from his/her duty. And not for their self interest such as taking the credits for doing a good thing. In doing so this would also help you determine in various aspects of the human actions as to what is right or the opposite of it. You as part of the living community wherein a system of laws are created should reconsider your actions. Actions wherein this would be filtered into layers of test as to what the purpose of it might be. And with the help of this you can also avoid doing what is not good and at the same time promote morality.
What I’ve learned:
I’ve learned that we should know when or even we should take rights seriously all the time
Integrative Questions:
1. How often do you practice rights?
2. Do you think that your acts are equal to those who take it seriously?
3. How did this review help you?
