Immanuel Kant emphasized the significance of individual autonomy in decision making. He believed that individuals have a moral duty to act autonomously and use their own reason and judgement to make ethical decisions. This principle is based on his famous quote, “So act that you use humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, always at the same time as an end, never merely as a means.” (Kant, The Good will and the Categorical Imperative, 112). Kant’s emphasis on individual autonomy highlights the importance of respecting an individual's freedom and independence in moral decision making. This principle suggests that individuals should take responsibility for their actions and not be unduly influenced by external factors, such as societal norms or pressure from others. Kant’s significance on individual autonomy is rooted in his moral philosophy, which is grounded in the belief that moral principles are based on rationality and autonomy.
