Paper Summary:
In this article the writer examines the works 'Invitation to Sociology' by Peter Berger, and 'Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals' by Immanuel Kant. The writer discusses how the authors present two distinct views upon human freedom. This essay argues that Berger, operating from a sociological perspective, contends that human freedom is illusory if one has a broad enough perspective to recognize how all human actions are linked in a chain of causality. In contrast, it is shown how Kant, operating from a philosophical perspective with a preoccupation with ethical principles, suggests that acknowledging the reality of human freedom is a prerequisite for any ethical reasoning.More papers on Berger and Kant:
