"I cannot imagine thinking as deeply as Kant and other philosophers did. I am glad though to have their works and to be able to challenge myself in not only reading but also in analyzing my own ethics. I like Kant's categorical imperative which suggests we do things for the good within the good itself. My husband is much better at this than I am. I can see the flaw in human nature for doing things because of the outcome - - what Kant refers to as the hypothetical imperative. I do, however, disagree with Kant in that you do need to look at the outcome if a greater good is a stake."
"Having had a conversion experience through the study of Kant in preparation for the master's thesis at Union Theological Seminary, I kept reading him after graduation. Having read the Metaphysical Elements of Justice already, I brought part two of The Metaphysics of Morals with me to Norway when visiting family there during the end that summer.
Since Mother was working as a translator for a labor union, I spent weekdays while at her apartment at the "Art Students' House" overlooking the King's Park in downtown Oslo. Being quite poor, finding an outdoor cafe which would allow one to nurse a coffee and a refill for eight hours straight was essential.
One day, while reading either this book or Hegel's Logic, an elderly Norwegian gentleman addressed me, interested in knowing what text could be so absorbing. Though heavily accented, his English was good. He was from the pre-war generation, when the second language of Norwegians was German. English would have been his third or fourth language. My own Norwegian was just barely good enough to buy a pack of cigarettes. In any case, we got into conversation, during the course of which we discovered that he had been Mother's mathematics teacher in gymnasium. Small world!--well, Oslo is pretty small as capital cities go, maybe half a million people in those days.
That was weird, but what was weirder was meeting another old friend of Mom's on a bus in downtown Rejkavik, capital of Iceland, during a subsequent trip to Norway in 1984."
