DUE 14 AUGUST 2026
1. BACKGROUND FACTS
In Assignment 1, I chose option a for the question about Patrice Motsepe’s money:
"Good for him - he is brilliant and worked hard to earn this."
Now I will look at this idea using Kant’s rules about what is right and wrong.
2. EVALUATE USING KANT'S CATEGORICAL IMPERATIVE
1. State your proposed act as a maxim:
"Patrice Motsepe will get US$4.2 billion (A) over his life (C) so he can be very, very rich
(E)."
2. Restate this maxim as a universal law:
"All people (8.1 billion of them) will get US$4.2 billion over their life so they can be very,
very rich."
3. Is the maxim above conceivable in a world ruled by the universal law?
