1Kantian ethics centers on [blank_start]reason[blank_end] rather than subjective emotion as the theory is based on objective truths which are facts that are [blank_start]universal[blank_end] (the same for all people). It is an [blank_start]absolutist[blank_end] theory (if something is wrong it is wrong for all people in all situations) and is [blank_start]deontological[blank_end], certain actions are right/wrong intrinsically and based on a sense of [blank_start]duty[blank_end]. Kant believes in [blank_start]free will[blank_end] and [blank_start]good intentions[blank_end] to determine if an action is moral or not, if an action is carried out due to feeling of force it is not a good act in the eyes of Kant. In this ethical theory good will is also referred to as [blank_start]"the summum bonum"[blank_end](the moral law within). According to Kant objective truths must be [blank_start]logically consistent,[blank_end] not [blank_start]logically cotradicting[blank_end] for it to be a good act. The theory revolves around [blank_start]a priori[blank_end] knowledge but according to Kant we must also have [blank_start]a priori synthetic[blank_end] knowledge. Last;y, a main feature of this ethical theory is the [blank_start]categorical imperative[blank_end] which has three main steps to follow: the universalization, humans as ends and the universal kingdom of ends.
