MA Creative Digital Media Ethical Practice (CDME4008) Kant, universal freedom and the rational being

MA Creative Digital Media Ethical Practice (CDME4008)  How can we be free without compromising the freedom of others?  If we are all free, how can we live in a safe world?  Must we never treat people as means to our needs? Questions of freedom

MA Creative Digital Media Ethical Practice (CDME4008)  Dignity is an innate human quality  Freedom defines us as moral agents  As moral agents we are duty-bound to protect and promote the freedom and dignity of all others Human nature and rationality

MA Creative Digital Media Ethical Practice (CDME4008) “According to Kant, any possible harm that stems from a lie is not what makes it immoral. It is immoral because by its very nature it assaults our capacity for rational thought and thwarts the exercise of our free will.” (Plaisance, 2009) Human nature, rationality and transparency

MA Creative Digital Media Ethical Practice (CDME4008) Kant’s three types of beings or objects:

MA Creative Digital Media Ethical Practice (CDME4008)  Wesen  Gregenstände  Objekte

MA Creative Digital Media Ethical Practice (CDME4008) Wesen:  projected ends, desires or objects of one’s will These have no value except that of being willed or desired by someone. (Atwell, 1986, quoted by Patrick Lee Plaisance in Media Ethics: Key Principles for Responsible Practice, Sage 2009)

MA Creative Digital Media Ethical Practice (CDME4008) Gregenstände:  natural, non-rational objects that are not dependent on one’s will, e.g. trees, stones, animals These have only a relative value, specifically, a value of means alone. (Atwell, 1986, quoted by Patrick Lee Plaisance in Media Ethics: Key Principles for Responsible Practice, Sage 2009)

MA Creative Digital Media Ethical Practice (CDME4008) Objekte:  rational beings, which are considered ends in themselves These have an absolute value… a dignity… “objects” of respect or, at least, their humanity or personality is. (Atwell, 1986, quoted by Patrick Lee Plaisance in Media Ethics: Key Principles for Responsible Practice, Sage 2009)
