In this paper, I analyze Kant’s theory of action and if human beings can act morally without being moved by sensible feelings. I will show that the answer of the Critique of Pure Reason, Groundwork and the Critical of Practical Reason is without any doubt “yes”, but Kant is ambiguous in the Metaphysics of Morals and also in the Anthropology. In the Metaphysics of Morals, Kant claims that there are some sensible conditions to the reception of the concept of duty: moral feeling, conscience,love of one’s neighbor, and respect for one self (self-esteem). I examine moral feeling and love of human beings, trying to figure out whether or not they are necessary sensible pre- conditions to moral actions.
