Session #11 - The Categorial Imperative in Kant's deontological ethics

“Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the more often and steadily we reflect upon them: the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me”
Immanuel Kant

Session Outline

1. Introduction (15 minutes)
   If you are not knowledgeable about Immanuel Kant, no problem, it is a huge topic, no previous knowledge or research is requiered.
   I will give a bit of historical context, and make a short introduction of the categorical imperative and then we will research more ourselves.
2. Group Research Time (30 minutes)
   After a quick round of introductions, we will divide into groups depending on the amount of assistants. Using the internet and AI we will find out:
   A. How many differences can we find between Kantian Deontology and Utilitarianism?
   B. Let's find out some thought experiments and see what we think about the outcomes.
3. Group Discussion (1 hour)
   After our research, everyone will have a turn to explain the differences that they found.
   Then we will explain the thought experiments and decide which philosophy is better in which case.

What to Bring: A notebook is recommended.

RSVP: Please confirm your attendance on Meetup so we can secure enough space.
