Kant's Ethics: The Categorical Imperative #2
A close look at the second formulation of the Categorical Imperative (humanity as an end), as we find it in the Second Section of Kant's Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals. I'll explain why Kant needs the second formulation, and I'll try to think about what it might mean to take this formulation seriously.
This is part of a series of videos working through the Grounding. For other videos in the series:

Great video, as always. Please consider uploading more videos as they are helping me a lot to go through my courses.
Excellent explanation! PLEASE consider making a video on the Third section of Groundwork for the Morality.

Yes I agree this is why I subscribed the moment I discovered his channel I couldn't understand Kant until I came across his videos. Great illustration, I love his concept of association.
By far some of, if not the best videos discussing Kant that I have ever seen and I have seen tons. The "big" "popular" videos that are 9 minutes long and try to explain the CI along with Kant's moral theory are a mess leaving people confused left and right. These videos are great for actually beginning to understand Kant's moral theory in a wholistic sense. Most people watch one of those aforementioned videos and dismiss Kant (assuming they have no philosophical background) without another thought.

I really appreciate that, thank you! And I agree, it's too easy to dismiss or reject a lot of these difficult thinkers on the basis of the simplified summaries/caricatures one finds of them online!
Appreciate the effort, thank you!
still waiting for CI #3
