      Kant’s Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals.

      For example, for Kant if a merchant is honest so as to earn a good reputation, these acts of being honest are not genuinely moral. The merchant is only truly moral if he or she is honest because being honest is right (one’s duty). Persons of good will do their duty because it is their duty and for no other reason.

      For Kant’s moral theory is focused on the conception of a being that is capable of governing itself through principles, and the theory, at least as it is presented in the Groundwork, is preoccupied with the moral agent as a being who adopts subjective principles (maxims) and is capable of doing so in light of objective principles or laws.

      It is a major weakness of Kant’s theory that it provides no answer to this dilemma. Thus, in these examples Kant’s theory leads either to a kind of moral stalemate, in which no moral decision can be made, or to a situation in which I may well regard doing my duty as being equivalent to doing wrong, thus going against our natural intuitions.

      Kant’s ethical theory thus not only permits moral agents to pursue such projects, but it even underwrites that pursuit, claiming that it has moral merit. Of course the complexities of human life are such that sometimes our pursuit of ends which are meritorious in the abstract may involve us in a morally impermissible course.

      Kant’s theory cannot be criticized on exactly these grounds, because transcendental apperception is not a kind of perception, but a kind of action. Still, to lay the ghost of a magical kind of consciousness to rest, I clarify the role of mental act awareness in self-knowledge of beliefs or judgments.
