Doing Good according to Deontological Ethics

Abstract

The objective of this article was to study doing good according to Deontologist Ethics. The methodology was based on the qualitative approach by studying and compiling information from all related documents and research papers. The results showed that the reason pushing us to perform as per our duty was the practical reasons. It did not guide humans to happiness, but created good will in themselves. For Kant, nothing is good without qualification except a good will. But, Kant did not state that the outcome could not be considered or the outcome was not important. He said that the morality of actions must not be determined by the outcome because the moral condition necessary for life was the will. It could be concluded that, for Kant, rightness relied on the will. If having a good will, an action would be right regardless of the outcome.
