The famous German deontologist

  Immanuel Kant, the famous German deontologist, tells us that lying is never under any circumstances permissible. Do you agree with this assessment? If so, explain why. If not, present at least one example of an instance in which lying would be ethically permissible. Be sure to provide at least two reasons to justify your answer. This post should be a minimum of 200 words. Discuss the ethics of lies and lying with at least two of your classmates with posts that are at least 100 words each. To get started you may want to reflect on times that you have either told a lie, felt like you needed to tell a lie, or found out that someone else lied to you. Think about the role that ethics can play in these situations. What would it be like to live in a world with no lies whatsoever?
