Ought Implies Kant offers an original defense of the ethical theory of Immanuel Kant, and develops an extension of that theory"s account of moral duty to include direct duties to nonhuman animals. The discussion centers on a critical examination of consequentialism, the view that the rightness or wrongness of an action is determined solely by its consequences.
