Kant Formula of Humanity Conceptual Map 
Kant's Mistakes
- Extreme altruism (Selfish motivation is immoral as to Kant, the "honest" shopkeeper who offers fair prices was only targeting better profit for himself, in other words, besides the motive of duty, any forms of helping others that are made for self-satisfaction is not purely moral). (p.114)
- Hypocritical judgement
(We ain't acting freely because of our natural desires and so only the forced moral being counts).
3, Overvalued categorical imperative (Kant expects all human being to act morally through his acts).
4, Unicity of thoughts ( Kant's Formula of Universal Law)
- Assumption of excuse for the immoral actions (To Kant, if we admire the inevitability of our natural desire, people would seek pretext.)
- Kant believes that lying under all circumstances is wrong. We feel that sometimes, lying for a good reason is needed, like the example mentioned about the Nazi and Anne Frank

Kant's Case of Rights
Kant rejects utilitarian approach that the right thing to do is the one that maximize the happniess of the whole society.
-
Sex, Lies, and Politics
Kant believes that casual sex is harmful because it is only about the satisfaction of sexual desire and that degrades the respect we should have for our partners. Kant believes that must not treat ourselves and other humans as merely objects, and that we do not own ourselves
Kant believes that we must not lie no matter what, regardless of the circumstances and the consequences, and if do otherwise such lying to a murderer, we are violating the the principle of right.
Categorical Imperative: CI is to act for the sake of duty only; it is unconditional, not in exchange for something, the "one that applies regardless of the circumstances"
Hypothetical Imperative: HI is acting in order to receive some kind of reward, "If you want X, then do Y"
