CHECK FOR PLAGIARISM IN TURNITIN AND SAFE ASSIGN
Read chapter 3, watch Week 6 Lecture, and watch the films Gone Baby Gone and Sleepers in YouTube.
PICK one movie and apply Kants moral philosophy to judge the MAIN FINAL action. For Gone Baby Gone judge Patricks final decision and for Sleepers judge the priests final decision.
Judging any other action in the movie is an automatic zero.
500 words minimum in MLA/APA format.
*You must apply Kants 3 premises (week 6 folder) for 50 points and Michael Sandels 3 contrasts (Week 6 Folder Lecture: Mind your Motive) for 50 points.
I have attached the class lectures and YouTube video here. The movies can be found online or research for the Fina lactio summary online.
Kants Categorical Imperative
Nature of the concept
The concept of the categorical imperative is a syllogism
1.The first premise is that a person acts morally if his or her conduct would, without condition, be the right conduct for any person in similar circumstances (the First Maxim).
2.The second premise is that conduct is right if it treats others as ends in themselves and not as means to an end (the Second Maxim).
3.The conclusion is that a person acts morally when he or she acts as if his or her conduct was establishing a universal law governing others in similar circumstances (the Third Maxim).
KANTS THREE PREMISES EXPLAINED BELOW
In the case of Gone Baby Gone the philosophical process you will follow in this paper should sound as something like this:
According to Kants first premise Patrick behaved moral because he returned the victim he was hired to find and without condition this is the right conduct for any detective in cases of kidnapping (the First Maxim). Here Kant speaks of doing the right prior to good.
2. On Kants second premise Patrick acted moral because he respected the dignity of Amanda and he treated her as an end in herself and not as means to an end like everyone else was doing in the film (the Second Maxim). Here Kant speaks of humans as special creatures and ends in themselves. Humans are ends, not means to an end. Los seres humanos son un fin, no un medio para un fin.
3. The conclusion is that a detective act morally when he reports a kidnapping to the police and this behavior should establish a universal law governing all detectives in cases of kidnapping (the Third Maxim). Here Kant asks us to test the universality of our action. Will it be OK if everyone does what I am about to do?
