ethics civics MCQ #1635

1. Question 1

   Q1. Which of the following is not true?

   • A) It makes morality depend on a person's desires.
   • B) It fails to give us any guidance whatsoever.
   • C) It makes morality depend solely on the consequences of one's acions.
   • D) It allows lying, which is never permissible.

   Answer: It allows lying, which is never permissible.

   Explanation: Kant's deontological ethics explicitly rejects the view that lying is never permissible — Kant himself argued lying is always wrong, but this is a claim of his theory; the statement "it allows lying, which is never permissible" is self-contradictory and not true of any standard ethical theory.
