Kant believed that people ought to act out of sense of duty rather than inclination. What are the differences between act out of duty and inclination? Act out of inclination is to do something because it makes us feel good or because we hope to gain something from it. On the other hand, act out of duty is means that we all should act from respect for the moral law. According to Kant, inclinations are irrational and emotional; most of us are inclined to do many things such as stay bed rather than go to work, make fast money or be gentle to children. Kant also mentioned we all have many inclinations of many things; some of them are moral and some of them are immoral; but we have to act morally and must rely on our reason and our will and act out of sense of duty.
