Abstract

The rise of modern science, after care ethics, Kant's ethics temporary In order to study the surface harsh criticism. This target regardless analysis Kang Dede conduct obligations "love" , "respect" and "love" and other concept Concept, designed to clarify this type of moral behavior are actually implies much care ethics learning in the "care" of adult prime, and review the system of Kant, "care" moral motivation problem. Kantian "care" Although it is some kind of moral sentiments, but from "the purpose of promoting other people's fortune Fuk" obligation, and care ethics of this study have different orientations. At the same time, Kant's ethics of the German school advocates for their behavior should be to "promote the improvement of their purpose" of obligations, there is a world involving "ultimate purpose" settings. This paper argues that Kant's ethics is basically missing school is not enough to complete the theoretical framework is not the problem, without hospice care practice methodology is the problem. The ethics of care criticize Kant's moral theory in contemporary philosophy. The purpose of this article is to analyze the concept of 'Menschenliebe' , 'Achtung' and 'Freundschaft' of Kant's virtue ethics. My objective is to understand the caring elements in Kant's doctrine of duty, and to clarify the problem of 'Triebfeder' in Kantian system. In Kantian conception of virtue the love with beneficence for others is to make the well-being and happiness of others one's own end. These ideas constitute the Kantian ethic of care. However, it is a duty to promote one's own perfection in Kant, and to promote others 'happiness is duty too. The idea of' others 'happiness' is consistence with the concept of philanthropy, and the idea of ​​'oneself' perfection 'connected the' Endzweck '. It would be true that Kant's ethics is weak in the motivation of moral action. It is necessary to enhance the moral motives in Kant's ethics.
