the problem with kantian ethics is that if you follow the categorical imperative, its very easy to end up in a situation where you can't take any actions, but by not taking any action you have chosen not to do so, and therefor have chosen the action of non-acting, which is immoral. When kantian ethics are faced with a moral dilemma it fails horribly.

Those critques are short sighted and simply silly. I'm not going to bother explaining why as I'm simply lazy. Tongue

rational egoism or utilitarianism does not have this problem, they only try to maximize happiness(either your own, or a group's).

And that is why we should kill all the jews. Utilitarianism is simply stupid as a moral theory. It ends in murder. Always. It cannot accomodate diversity of thought or personage.

Kant is wrong.

No. You are. Tongue
