Kant argues that that freedom and morality

Kant argues that that freedom and morality are be connected with each other. Therefore, one should stress the following,"I am moral because I am free, and I am free because I am moral." The two synergistic realms support each.

Furthermore, a free human being is always an end. It can be defined as an intrinsic or unconditional value that exists per se. Every person is always an end and never a means. We should never treat persons as "mere means to an end."

1. Why should we avoid treating another person as a means? Give one practical example of what it would be for someone to treat another as "mere means to an end"? How would it negate someone's freedom?

2. How can we really prove that freedom and morality are related to each other, as Kant teaches?

Using Kant's arguments/quotes from the Third Section of the "Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals," develop your argument related to the above questions. The project requires critical thinking and targets analytical and synthetic skills of students. Apply selectively Kant's reading (pp. 49-67) to your discussion.
