Aristotle Vs Kant
2. Why I agree more with Aristotle on this point. I agree more with Aristotle on
this point because beneficial effects of one's actions are fulfilling and virtuous.
People really desire to cause life to be enjoyable for themselves and others and
when we really cause positive consequences on life, we derive fulfillment and
happiness. I find it hard to side with Kant because it is ineffectual to just have a
desire to act in goodwill and then fail to be good in real terms. It is virtuous to act
outside the confines of the law and then cause good. That is why I find Aristotle's
ideas more acceptable than Kant's.
