摘要
Many philosophers have criticised Kant's list of duties toward nonhuman nature, saying that it is insufficiently morally justified to be concerned about such things. Kant does not, however, argue that humans should refrain from acts of animal cruelty and purposeful destruction of vegetation because doing so could force one to overlook one's obligations to other people. This is why the conventional translation of Kant on this topic is incorrect. Overall, I contend that Kant's obligations to nature give a much more solid basis for restrictions on how people may treat non-human animals and vegetation since they are grounded in the flawed responsibility to build one's own ethical perfection. The topic of this essay, "Kant's Outright Kindness and its Suggestions for a Few Current Moral Issues Like Self-Destruction, War, and Early Termination," explores a key concept and use of Kant's deontological moral hypothesis as it is clearly described in his all -encompassing basic. Kant offered this fundamental as a moral benchmark for evaluating the complexity of a work and a specialist's moral worth. Self-destruction, war, and early termination were used as three contemporary moral conundrums in this study to examine the elements of Kant's ethical hypothesis and assess its viability as a guideline.
