Immanuel Kant was born in what is known today as Kaliningrad, Russia. He was known for publishing sixty-nine philosophical publications. Kant was not only a philosopher and teacher; he was also a chair in the field of mathematics. He was a believer in morals and doing what was right. This philosopher was also known for having multiple diseases over the course of his life (Fellin & Ble, 1997). During the course of his life, Immanuel Kant wrote about human socialization and how antagonism can impact humans and society. For instance, Immanuel Kant blames “man’s own absurd natural predispositions” for his own problems (Valdez, 2017, p. 827). Some of these problems consisted of barbaric behavior as well as war. This was difficult for Kant. As a moral philosopher, Immanuel Kant believed in doing the right thing. Similarly, Kant believed in peacebuilding. Thus, building trust was a great way to maintain peace (Yu, 1998). Kant also believed that there were times when individuals were confident in their ability to be among others in society. He also believed that there were times when individuals felt isolated from the same society that they often enjoyed engagement. Moreover, Kant believed that autonomy was a necessary part of human nature (Pirc, 2018). Like, Aristotle, Immanuel Kant believed in respect and dignity for human life. This connectedness stemmed from a common thread that Kant labeled as the formula for humanity. This philosopher furthered believed in two distinct domains as it related to the categorical imperative. One of these was the doctrine of right. The other distinct domain was referred to as the doctrine of virtue (DiCenso, 2019). Kant’s categorical imperative was one method of illuminating this message. In other words, people mattered. According to Ruggiero (2012), they should never be used as a means to someone else’s end. “To treat people “as an end” means, on the most superficial level, treating them well. We must promote their welfare, respect their rights, avoid harming them, and generally “endeavor, so far as we can, to further the ends of others” (Rachels & Rachels, 2019, p. 147). Needless to say, cruelty and evil exists but Kant believed that it was important for people to act morally. At times; however, Kant viewed human beings as animals.  Kant argued, “that if we develop a habit of treating animals cruelly this will damage our character and ultimately lead to in.

2. Immanuel Kant was born in what is known today as
Kaliningrad, Russia. He was known for publishing sixty-nine
philosophical publications. Kant was not only a philosopher and
teacher; he was also a chair in the field of mathematics. He was
a believer in morals and doing what was right. This philosopher
was also known for having multiple diseases over the course of
his life (Fellin & Ble, 1997).
During the course of his life, Immanuel Kant wrote about
human socialization and how antagonism can impact humans
and society. For instance, Immanuel Kant blames “man’s own
absurd natural predispositions” for his own problems (Valdez,
2017, p. 827). Some of these problems consisted of barbaric
behavior as well as war. This was difficult for Kant. As a moral
philosopher, Immanuel Kant believed in doing the right thing.
Similarly, Kant believed in peacebuilding. Thus, building trust
was a great way to maintain peace (Yu, 1998).
Kant also believed that there were times when individuals were
confident in their ability to be among others in society. He also
believed that there were times when individuals felt isolated
from the same society that they often enjoyed engagement.
Moreover, Kant believed that autonomy was a necessary part of
human nature (Pirc, 2018). Like, Aristotle, Immanuel Kant
believed in respect and dignity for human life. This
connectedness stemmed from a common thread that Kant
labeled as the formula for humanity. This philosopher furthered
believed in two distinct domains as it related to the categorical
imperative. One of these was the doctrine of right. The other
distinct domain was referred to as the doctrine of virtue
(DiCenso, 2019).
Kant’s categorical imperative was one method of illuminating
this message. In other words, people mattered. According to
Ruggiero (2012), they should never be used as a means to
someone else’s end. “To treat people “as an end” means, on the

3. most superficial level, treating them well. We must promote
their welfare, respect their rights, avoid harming them, and
generally “endeavor, so far as we can, to further the ends of
others” (Rachels & Rachels, 2019, p. 147).
Needless to say, cruelty and evil exists but Kant believed that it
was important for people to act morally. At times; however,
Kant viewed human beings as animals. Kant argued, “that if we
develop a habit of treating animals cruelly this will damage our
character and ultimately lead to inappropriate treatment of other
human beings” (Skidmore, 2001, p. 541). In essence, a moral
duty to do what was right was a big part of Kant’s mantra.

Example
of a
peer post response
that
you can use as a guide
.
I enjoyed reading the comments that you shared in your initial

5. post as it relates to female circumcision. Valid points were
shared related to the world view you held. For example, I
appreciated reading information that you wrote related to
subjective moral relativist. Also, you shared good information
related to the steps that you would take as to whether you can
assist the surgeon. Allow me to share some additional insight as
it relates to female circumcision as well as my thoughts related
to cultural relativism. It is true that equality exists when
examining cultures and societies based on a cultural relativist
perspective. According to Rachels and Rachels (2019),
“Different cultures have different moral codes” (p. 14). As a
nurse, my Hippocratic Oath is to do no harm (El-Gibaly et al.,
2019). Since female genital mutilation (FGM) is illegal in a
country like the United Kingdom (Bourne, 2018), my cultural
beliefs would be in opposition to assisting the surgeon. This is
where our views differed.
From your perspective, is it possible to adopt the views of
another culture and still remain true to your own beliefs?
