The other particular feature emphasized by Kant is that a human being is capable
of acting in accordance with the moral law and is truly free to do so. This is the only
real freedom we have – to be morally worthy beings. It is not freedom from any
obligations, but freedom to be governed by reason and the moral law. Otherwise we
are ruled by desires and inclinations, and only appear to be free. Kant says that reason
causes us not to be content with idleness and pleasure, and it prompts us to develop our
full potential to honour our humanity and the humanity of others.
Thanks to this capacity of every individual to discover the moral law and be bound
by its duties, to reason independently, to make their own decisions and implement
them, all individuals are ends in themselves. To treat ourselves as ends means to
practise the moral law − to develop virtues, overcome challenges in life and acquire
moral strength and self-esteem. Kant lists some duties we have towards ourselves,
which include the duty of self-perfection and the duty to be happy…» [9]
In social networks, everyone can be a journalist, so it is important for them that
every citizen is gemonic, patriotic and successful, educated, and wise. The standards
of individual success are unchanged, we like the scientific articles of the philosopher:
«Kant was an advocate of a harmonious and peaceful life within a community. His
ideal was a kingdom of ends – “a corpus mysticum of the rational beings in it, insofar
as the free will of each, under moral laws, is in complete systematic unity with itself
and with the freedom of every other”.
At the end of his Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals, Kant offers another
formulation of the moral law: “Act in accordance with the maxims [rules] of a member
giving universal laws for a merely possible kingdom of ends.” In other words, he
invites us to act as if we were creating an ideal morally worthy world. In order not to
be overwhelmed by such a grand task, we can start by creating an ideal ethical
community, which is “an indispensable vehicle of humanity’s moral progress”, as Kant
pointed out» [9].
