Question

what are Ross' chief objections to kantian moral rules? And a brief example if possible

Answer 1

Kantian Moral Rules: He argued that the supreme principle of morality is a standard of rationality that he dubbed the “Categorical Imperative” (CI). Kant characterized the CI as an objective, rationally necessary and unconditional principle that we must always follow despite any natural desires or inclinations we may have to the contrary.

Ross' Chief Objections:

Ross’s main objection to Kant’s system is its super-abstract, indeed virtually seraphic, and absolutist character. He argues that Kant’s absolutism makes his theory impractical and contrary to plain thinking and common-sense morality and shows how the test of universalizability comes out differently if it is applied in very specific cases rather than in general, abstract ones.
