Reason necessarily expresses itself through emotions and emotions are healthy only insofar as they are expressions of reason.

Empiricist philosophy always tends to be anti-philosophy (and is often proud of it).

Kant did think he had a moral route back to rational faith in God, for those who need it, and he thought that at some level, we all do need something like it.

People are often most proud of precisely those things of which they should most be ashamed.

We can make mistakes about what we ought to do, and these are not the same as making bad decisions about what to do.

Kant's system of duties constitutes a Doctrine of Virtue because the duties also indicate what kinds of attitudes, dispositions and feelings are morally virtuous or vicious.

The problem I see with utilitarianism, or any form of consequentialism, is not that it gets the wrong answers to moral questions. I think just about any moral theory, worked out intelligently, and applied with good judgment, would get just about the same results as any other.
