Question 1

Kant says: &#34; There is nothing in the world, or even out of it, that can be called good without qualification, except a -------&#10;A)GoodWill&#10;B)Categorical Imperative&#10;C)Hypothetical Imperative&#10;D)Law

Accepted Answer

Kant argues that a good will is the only thing that is good without qualification, meaning it is good in itself and not because of its consequences or any conditions attached to it.

Question 2

Pick up the wrong answer. The Good will is:&#10;A)the only good&#10;B)Unconditional good&#10;C)Good in itself&#10;D)actuated by inclination

Accepted Answer

Good will, as described by philosopher Immanuel Kant, is considered to be good in itself, the only thing that is unconditionally good, and not contingent on its outcomes. It is not actuated by inclination, meaning it does not depend on desires or outcomes for its goodness, but rather is good in its intention and the duty behind the action.

Question 3

According to Kant, the will is ------------ when it acts solely from a sense of duty.&#10;A)Autonomous&#10;B)Heteronomous&#10;C)Actuated by inclination&#10;D)Teleological

Accepted Answer

Kant argues that the will is autonomous when it acts from a sense of duty, meaning it is self-governing and guided by moral law rather than external influences or desires.

Question 4

According to Kant, it is wrong to break a promise, because&#10;A)This act cannot be universalized&#10;B)Because you will go to jail&#10;C)Cheating is not acceptable&#10;D)It adverselyaffects on trust

Accepted Answer

Kant's moral philosophy includes the principle of the categorical imperative, which states that one should act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law. Breaking a promise cannot be universalized without contradiction, as the concept of a promise would become meaningless if everyone broke them.

Question 5

Kant's which maxim shows that 'None should enslave himself or others'&#10;A)First&#10;B)Second&#10;C)Third&#10;D)Fourth

Accepted Answer

Kant's second maxim, part of his Categorical Imperative, states that one should act in such a way that they treat humanity, whether in their own person or in the person of any other, always at the same time as an end and never merely as a means to an end. This principle inherently opposes the idea of enslaving oneself or others, as it would violate the inherent dignity and worth that Kant believes every person possesses.

Question 6

Kant's second maxim shows:&#10;A)Treat personality as of absolute worth&#10;B)A person is an end in himself, and not a means&#10;C)The rational nature which constitutes humanity should be respected.&#10;D)All of these

Accepted Answer

Kant's second maxim, part of his categorical imperative, emphasizes that humanity and rational nature should be treated as ends in themselves and not merely as means to an end, which encompasses all the options provided.

Question 7

According to Kant to commit suicide is wrong, because:&#10;A)It will lead to the annihilation of human life if it is universalized.&#10;B)The person treating himself as a means to the removal of the disgust of life&#10;C)He is not regarding himself as an end&#10;D)All of these.

Accepted Answer

Kant's moral philosophy, particularly his categorical imperative, argues that actions are morally right if they can be universalized without contradiction and if they treat humanity, whether in oneself or in others, as an end in itself. Committing suicide, according to Kant, fails these tests: it cannot be universalized without leading to the annihilation of human life (contradicting the will to live), it involves treating oneself merely as a means to an end (the end being the cessation of suffering or "disgust of life"), and it does not respect oneself as an end in itself.

Question 8

Kant's third maxim says:&#10;A)Act as a member of a kingdom of ends&#10;B)Respect for the dignity of persons&#10;C)What is right is universal&#10;D)Treat personality as of absolute worth

Accepted Answer

Kant's third maxim, also known as the "Kingdom of Ends," suggests that one should act as if they are a member of a universal realm where everyone is treated as ends in themselves, not merely as means to an end.

Question 9

Which among the following is NOT a Postulates of Morality&#10;A)Freedom of the Will&#10;B)Immortality of the Soul&#10;C)Mortality of the Soul&#10;D)Existence of God

Accepted Answer

The postulates of morality according to Immanuel Kant include the freedom of the will, the immortality of the soul, and the existence of God. The mortality of the soul is not listed among these postulates, making it the correct choice.

Question 10

Kant says, we are autonomous when we act according to&#10;A)Duty&#10;B)Feeling&#10;C)Pleasure&#10;D)inclination

Accepted Answer

Kant argues that autonomy involves acting according to duty, which he sees as acting in accordance with moral law or principles that one has rationally chosen for oneself, rather than being driven by feelings, pleasure, or inclinations.
