AB - Kant’s ethics puts the origin of morality into an agent’s intrinsic aspect, not the extrinsic one. So it emphasizes an individual agent and her autonomy. Therefore, when the moral assessment and justification are performed, it is basically focused on the first-person perspective of the agent. For this reason, Kant’s moral philosophy is criticized in such a way that it is just for individual ethics not for community ethics. This amounts to saying that it is not enough as to compel or guide the individual agent to fulfil her obligation not only for the individual but also for the society. However, the agent-centered ethics has some power rather than the observer-centered ethics has. To take responsibility in the mutual relationship is only possible when we assume the character as the agent-centered, intrinsic and autonomous. The attribution of responsibility dependent upon the autonomy of the agent works as a precondition for the moral assessment and argument of responsibility about a community issue. In conclusion, Kant’s moral philosophy has practical utility as the community’s morals beyond the “individual morals”.
