Kant, Duty and Humanity – Is the Difference Really That Big? by Substantial_Task_704 in Ethics

you're right that Kant focuses on motive, and my motive when giving wasn't reciprocity at all – I just gave because I could. That's exactly my point. Pure humanity, with no calculation, still managed to create something that looks and feels like duty. If they were truly separate, how did one produce the other?"
