Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Susanne's behavior is consistent with Kant's categorical imperative, which emphasizes that moral decisions should be made based on universal moral principle rather than on subjective opinions or desires. Kant argued that lying is inherently wrong, and that it violates the principle of treating others as ends in themselves rather than as means to an end. Susanne's commitment to never lying, even when it may be socially or emotionally difficult, is consistent with this principle.
