Briefly explain Kant's "man is not a tool" ~
Kant (1724- 1804) put forward a thought-provoking point in Critique of Pure Reason, that is, man is not a tool of others, but his own purpose, in other words, he should be people-oriented, and all human activities are ultimately for his well-being, and he is the ultimate value orientation in all development processes. Kant put forward the principle of respecting others, "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you". He believes that people should respect other people's feelings, instead of using others as a tool to facilitate themselves.
