Philosophy Korsgaard

too rigorous and doesn't allow for exceptions

• If you know a liar is lying, you can lie b/c they are expecting you're telling the truth
• universal lying to a liar b/c he expects the truth which is why he's lying

• parent and child
• child wants to "borrow" money but reality is just wants money
• parent agrees to child because they know the end and share the same end

king of ends is ideal BUT people involved/reality isn't ideal

• KOE - doesn't have discrimination
• Reality - has discrimination

Affirmative action - this is discrimination, BUT is necessary to bring about good and is guided by the KOE ideal.

• Reality - Murderer at the door
• KOE - no murderers 

• options: 1. be honest (person dies)
•              2.shoot them (further from ideal)
•          **3.lie (closest to ideal) so pick this one

must come from something a priori (rational) and not experience

no...

b/c of inclination vs duty

lump duty together, but can't differentiate between empirical (experience) and rational (reason)

Moral law itself

• common reason is good at practical reason easily led astray by life (feelings and inclinations)
• so philosophy gives us more objective

based on autonomy and rational freedom
