Kant
One thing I know for sure - I'll never be able to think about Kant again without seeing him as Kenneth Williams.
To lie or not to lie
I voted in favour of the slaves only. They were put into a situation which no human being should ever find themselves. All the others in my view were wrong. This shows the divergence of reasoning between secular and spiritual worlds. For Christians it is never correct to lie, except in the slave type situation. Was it correct to assassinate Heinriech Heydrich? Doing so brought more violence on the Czech people than would otherwise have happened.
