Key Topics to Revise

1

Understanding Different Types of Actions

  • Most of our everyday actions are non-moral - they don't necessarily involve morality
  • Conventional behavior follows prevailing customs and is necessary to prevent anarchy
  • Mere observance of custom and usage cannot be called morality
2

First Criterion: Own Will and Intention

  • A moral act must be our own act and spring from our own will
  • Acting mechanically has no moral content unless we choose to act mechanically
  • The difference between mechanical and intentional action is crucial
3

Second Criterion: Good Intention

  • It's not enough for an act to be good in itself - it must be done with good intention
  • The morality of an action depends on the intention of the doer
  • Same action can be moral or non-moral based on different intentions
4

Third Criterion: Freedom from Compulsion

  • Moral action must be done without compulsion or fear
  • Actions done from fear have no moral content
  • Example: Rising early from fear of losing job (non-moral) vs. choosing simple life despite wealth (moral)
