Hello and we're going to

we're joined by Harry and we're going to talk about can't's deontological ethics

now can't gets a sort of a bad name but also some people love him so it's kind of a mixed bag some people really love him some people really hate him it's a bit hard to be neutral with him because there are all sorts of issues that piss off people or make it make them

Really prone to liking him. Yes, I will say to preface this, the most that I have interacted with Kant is occasionally

walking into a waterstones and looking at the philosophy that they have and noticing that there is a large tone,

a critique of pure reason I believe is the one that they always have in stock and it's

absolutely enormous picking that up and going,

I might read this one day and then putting it back and never buying it because it seems like a very dense, thick tone full of quite difficult concepts I would imagine and also I'm aware of his categorical imperative

which seems to be a sort of universal rule in the way that I've been I've had it described that you shouldn't

behave in a way towards one person that you wouldn't behave in the way to

to that you wouldn't expect to have to behave to anybody else in the world and also that he was a critic of the Enlightenment who was trying to

stop some of its excesses from what I have been told I don't know how accurate that is.

This is one of the major interpretive questions. Some people say that Kant represents the

pinnacle of the Enlightenment, a grand synthesis of the enlightenment others think that he is basically the

departure he represents the point of departure I don't think that we can ever

solve that debate but I see respectable people arguing for each position.

So I think that each way of looking at things is respectable and has lots of things going for it.

I'm more of the idea, I subscribe more to the first idea. I think that he is more of the

pinnacle of the enlightenment and if we look at it depends on what we

understand as enlightenment but we will we will talk about this another time.

So Kant, yes, does-

Oh, before we go any further,
