I feel as though logic is the primary factor in most of the choices I make in life. Logic has trumped emotion throughout various portions of my life.

” I will then argue the oppositions of making decisions with emotions versus using rationality, the value of intentions behind a performed action, and Now that I have laid out the Kantian definitions of “duty” and “moral actions,” I can further discuss Kant’s view in ethics more specifically.
