  • A guy once told me that ¨deontology¨ referred to Kant's ¨rejection¨ of metaphysics. He broke the word into ¨de¨ (or ¨anti¨) ¨ontology¨ (or the consideration of the ontological statuses). He tried to say that this meant Kant had NO metaphysics, or that he was anti-metaphysics. Idiot, he was.

  • @PragmaticLiving Lol, that's epically wrong.

  • Nykytyne2 i used to watch youre atheist videos in highschool hahaha. now i'm in college and in a philosophy class, i never thought i would bump into youre channel again to help with my homework hahaha. Hope all is well buddy, good video.

  • it's not true that consequences don't matter in deontological ethics. it's just that the consequences are not the only thing that matter, the intentions, the harm inflicted, consent from involved parties etc are just as important, but to say that consequences don't matter is ridiculous.

  • Thank you so much, this is so helpful as a recap for my exam.

  • Quite useful concepts you provide here, but i was more interested on the agent-centered one mostly...because if you think about it, it all comes to the self. Supported from psychology the psychological egoism. But I think one would have to do an extensive incorporation on the matter to prove a point. But its quite logical if you think about it.(I'm not being absolute here just giving a suggestion).

  • Why don't you call this video: "Why deontology is wrong"? This video is not an unbiased introduction to the topic nor does it attempt to be.

  • @AdderallApocalypse this video helps people learn for their homework.. feel dumb.

  • engaging a level of brain concentration with these videos. i suggest watching these whilst hungover

  • Wow, "required, permitted, or forbidden." Yeah, my response to that is pretty much always gonna be, "Says, who?" The thing about "rules" is that rules, *per se*, have no value! Only consequences have "value" (all "value" is subjective, but *can* be based on something "objectively" real, and from there, a group of people can *agree* on at least *some* "values"... but I'm sure you'll be hearing more about that from me later...)

  • @Nykytyne2 wow... thanks for doing other peoples' homework for them... how "virtuous" and/or "dutiful" of you... :-P

    Deontology is monumentally fucking stupid... I mean, even compared to other "ethical theories"...
