And I'm Francie Russell.

So it's not immediately intuitive how reason could either be a source of a command or tell us about anything we should do in the world.

And then how could it tell us something about ethics?

So can you tell us a bit more about what Kant thought reason was?

It sounds like objective universality means that if one person does an action in a certain circumstance, everybody should do the same action.

It's objectively universal.

And subjective universality means that we'd all agree with it.

There'd be no

moral disagreement about what the right thing to do was.

How do these two forms of universality tell me anything about what it means to be a good person?

I found that answer helpful because I think it helps show

That Kant is not

of the mind that moral life is somehow

fully separable from our vulnerabilities, our concrete relationships with others, that there might even be

limitations to what we can rationally want in light of those vulnerabilities and in light of our social mode of life.

I wonder if you could talk about a case that's sort of the inverse of the one we just imagined.

What if I find myself in a corrupt state and I make what I think is a moral judgment?

That's correct, and I find no subjective agreement with my fellows.

I meet complete disagreement.

Should this be something that impacts my moral judgment at all?
