Join the discussion and explore Kantian ethical thinking while gaining deeper insights into the self.

Consider a scenario where we unintentionally kill an ant, and before we know it, we feel an immediate twinge of guilt.

Moral quandaries often arise to challenge the implications of our actions, yet we often feel inadequate to assess them. Who are we to make such judgments?

Immanuel Kant, a renowned German philosopher born 300 years ago, grappled with similar questions. He not only sought to evaluate the moral implications of actions but also questioned the basis for judging something as inherently good or bad.

In this discussion event, we'll touch upon Kant's moral-ethical theory through these probing inquiries: How do we comprehend phenomena? How do we assign value post-comprehension? How do humans discern between good and bad values? And what drives our constant pursuit of moral goodness?
