The document discusses Immanuel Kant's philosophy of freedom and morality. It states that for Kant, freedom is a concept involved in moral decision-making, and that we must have free will to be held morally responsible. It asks whether ethics applies only to human persons or also to animals, noting that songs imply humans have choice and freedom through phrases like "I did it my way". The document concludes that having free will and the ability to choose freely is necessary for morality, and that aligning thought, word and action results in an integrated personality.

2. IMMANUEL KANT
 In KANT’S PHILOSOPHY
, freedom is defined as a
concept which involved
in the moral domain, at
the question: what
should I do? And that
moral Law is knowing
oneself as a free person.
He believed that we
must have free will if we
are to be held morally
responsible for our
action.

3.  Do the lower forms of
animals have ethics?
Like can we say that a
dog is immoral or
unethical if it defecates
right there at your
doorstep? Or is ethics
only for human persons?

6. The song, “My Way” or “Born
This Way”, implies choice or
freedom “I did it my way”.
Unlike the lower forms of
animals, human persons have a
choice or freedom, hence
morality applies only to human
persons.

7. Without freedom it is impossible
to make a moral choice. If we
have free will we must have the
ability to make a decision that is
unhindered.

8. Having free will of freedom to
choose among alternatives,
which implies prior analysis and
study, is coming to terms which
what you finally affirm or deny.

10. The moral standard becomes one
with the moral agent. As the moral
agent, this moral standard becomes
your natural and immediate basis in
your ethical decision making.

11. “ What I think must be
the same as what I say,
and what I say must be the
same as what I do”.

12.  The result is oneness of thought, word and
action, and its effect is an integrated
personality, personality, personality made
whole.
 Making your mind, word, and action, a unity
is not easy. You have in mind the maxim,
“ Honesty is the best policy”

13.  Instruction: In a short bond paper write a
reflection.
 Question: What choice have you made in life
recently? Are you happy with that choice? Are
you grateful you have the capacity to choose
freely?
