Essay Grade: 83%The Humanness of Hume and Kant's Moral Theories
1,406 words, approx. 5 pages
Human moral theory can only be based on human action. It is important to understand why humans regard things as moral and Hume does an excellent job of explaining this based on observable human characteristics. A theory like Kant's lacks this quality. Since its basis is not observable it lacks the credibility for application. It is simply an idealistic approach to morals. Although potentially very pleasing, Kant's ideas loses their own validity by straying from humanity and into divinity.
