Ethics:Discussion, Reflection, Synthesis ( What is difference between bad and good or right and wrong)

As examined in the article, Immanuel Kant states in his own philosophy, “A good will is not good because of what it effects or accomplishes – because of its fitness for attaining some proposed end; it is good through its willing alone – that is, good in itself.” The difference between the right and the wrong actions comes within the person, due to the fact it based on the moral virtues each individual has. Why do religious concepts outline the rightness or wrongness of actions, if these concepts of right and wrong deal with moral values?

The Sicilian philosopher Gorgias believes in the following concept, “… that there can be no such thing as right and wrong because moral truths or facts do not exist. In fact, Gorgias argued that nothing exists.”Thus when applying Gorgias philosophy to Kant’s philosophy the ‘good will’ that Kant refers to, does not exist. If these philosophies were applied to the concepts of religions the right and wrong actions would not exist which would affect the religious virtues that specific belief system requires. Religion revolves around the concept of what is considered right and what is considered wrong, or what is good and what is bad. The moral values is not considered when the religious aspects are outlined, as the religious behavior consists of what should be believe and what concepts should be build in one’s mind. Thus religion does not consider a person’s moral values, as it states discipline in what should be values from the good and bad or right and wrong.
