Question

Which of the following is an example of an end in itself, according to Kant?
A. a dog
B. Germany
C. Jeremy Bentham
D. Philosophy

Answer 1

"Kant argued that rational beings can never be treated merely as a means to an ends; they must always also be treated as an ends themselves, requiring that their own reasoned motives must be equally respected.
