Immanuel Kant on Virtues - Dictionary of Arguments
Höffe I 306 Virtue/Kant/Höffe: Kant divides his moral system, the metaphysics of morals, into two parts: the doctrine of law as the epitome of what humans owe to one another, and the doctrine of virtue as the epitome of the more meritorious services. For both it represents a general law of moral rank. With the general law of right, in contrast to the general law of virtue, the inner motive force is not important, so that, while one must obey the law of right, one should not make obeying it the maxim of one’s action. >Law/Kant._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
