Kant’s Categorical imperative:

  • Categorical imperative is used to provide a way for the people to evaluate moral actions and to make moral judgments. It is not a command to perform a specific task; it is simply an ethics of duty.

Explanation of Solution

Regarding one’s action:

According to Kant’s categorical imperative, one action to not present Leslie’s alternative was definitely “not ethical”.

Reason:

  • Because in this situation it meant having to lie to the committee and Leslie about which alternative was chosen.
  • As a corresponding member of any team in any organization, it is one’s responsibility to present other members work or idea to the table with open arms.
  • It is up to the committee to determine which alternative is better one. One’s action towards Leslie’s work is not only unethical but also it’s very selfish thought and unfair action not to present the coworker work to the committee.
