Kant believed that persons have infinite worth, which he called human dignity. He believed that this was the basis for moral law and that it should guide our actions. Kant's ethical view is also known as deontology, which emphasizes duty and moral obligation over consequences or personal desires. Kant did not believe that what is morally right varies from culture to culture, nor did he believe that reason is the slave of the passions, or that God is the author of moral law.
