establish an ethical foundation for living within the

Kant and The Ethics of Choice : A 5 page paper that
investigates significant aspects of intention or consequences on
the moral and ethical decisions of individuals. This paper

call in to question whether the effects of moral choices,
whether good or not, are considered good simply becasue of
the intention of the individual making the determination.
