Layla’s Reviews > Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals > Status Update

I like this. It makes me think about how if we didnt have the quran to tell us clear restrictions, and only depending on human nature, how would we distinguish good from bad.

“Respect for a person is properly only respect for the law (of honesty, etc.) of which he gives us an example.”

“they find that they have (hatred), in fact, only brought more trouble on their shoulders, rather than gained in happiness;”

“For in order that an action should be morally good, it is not enough that it conform to the moral law, but it must also be done for the sake of the law, otherwise that conformity is only very contingent and uncertain”
This quote might be one of the confusing things ive ever read. I will never understand what motivates morals in athiests when they dont believe in anything beyond our current world and reality.
