...“Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals,” he describes the human being as a living organism who is endowed by nature with rational cognition and rational volition and then argues that while the principles of morality should be derived from "the universal concept of a rational being in general, "a moral system also requires anthropology "in order to be applied to humans" (GMS 395-96,412). In the Critique of Practical Reason he considers the human agent as a "rational but finite being," whose finite nature is specifically apparent in the needs which express themselves through the faculty of desire which we share with animals (KPV 25-26). In the “Metaphysics of Morals” Kant extends his critical moral philosophy by examining the principles of action which are derived from the moral law as these apply a priori to human beings as members of a community of rational beings who also have a certain type of empirical constitution, these principles include the duties of justice and the duties of virtue, as both of these constrain and direct the actions of the subject both toward itself and toward others. In the course of this discussion Kant also develops a general account of human nature. Here he observes that according to his place within the "system of nature," the human individual is "a being of slight importance,” who may be regarded "with the rest of the animals" as an "offspring of the earth." However, human nature is also distinguished from a purely animal nature by the capacity...

...Learning with Cases INTRODUCTION The case study method of teaching used in management education is quite different from most of the methods of teaching used at the school and undergraduate course levels. Unlike traditional lecture-based teaching where student participation in the classroom is minimal, the case method is an active learning method, which requires participation and involvement from the student in the classroom. For students who have been exposed only to the traditional teaching methods, this calls for a major change in their approach to learning. This introduction is intended to provide students with some basic information about the case method, and guidelines about what they must do to gain the maximum benefit from the method. We begin by taking a brief look at what case studies are, and how they are used in the classroom. Then we discuss what the student needs to do to prepare for a class, and what she can expect during the case discussion. We also explain how student performance is evaluated in a case study based course. Finally, we describe the benefits a student of management can expect to gain through the use of the case method. WHAT IS A CASE STUDY? There is no universally accepted definition for a case study, and the case method means different things to different people. Consequently, all case studies are not structured similarly, and variations abound in terms of style, structure and approach. Case material ranges from small caselets (a few paragraphs...
