His philosophy is deontological, focusing on duty rather than personal gain or inclination. Kant's ethical principle, the categorical imperative, requires that one's actions be universalizable.

The video introduces Kantian ethics, a major ethical tradition of modernity. It begins by explaining Kant's belief that ethics should be formal, universal, and rational, meaning it should apply to everyone without prescribing specific actions or goals such as Aristotle's pursuit of happiness. According to Kant, moral action is performed out of duty, hence his ethics is known as deontological. Duty involves the necessity of action out of respect for law, and Kant distinguishes three types of actions: contrary to duty, in accordance with duty, and out of duty, with only the latter having moral worth.

The video further explains Kant's examples of moral actions. For instance, helping a person drowning: acting out of duty involves saving them despite any personal inclinations or benefit, which is considered morally good. Kant introduces the concept of the categorical imperative, a rule stating one should act only according to maxims that could be universal laws. This imperative serves as a measure for moral actions. Kant considers the 'good will'—the intention to act rightly—as ultimately good, emphasizing duty as an end in itself. The video suggests this provides a foundational understanding of Kant's ethics, inviting further exploration of his philosophy.
