Problem: In his "Metaphysics of Morals" and in a famous follow-up essay entitled "On a Supposed Right to Lie for Altruistic Reasons" Kant reaffirmed his view that lying is inconsistent with human dignity and, however, justified it may seem in certain situations, is always wrong. No exceptions.
This controversial assertion has sparked heated moral debate. What is your view? Is lying always wrong? Can you think of a situation in which lying is the right thing to do?
