kant's second formulation

above you see the sun of respect and self-respect, they are both dependent, the rays going out are respect to the world, the rays coming in are self-respect. we can't respect if we don't self-respect. 

Kant's second formulation states:


 "treat people as ENDS in themselves and never merely as means to an end" 

some words here that need attention:

1- "people" means a specific club of persons (reason, freedom, sentience, autonomy). Belonging in this club gives us  intrinsicality.

2- ENDS in THEMSELVES (THEY ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE)


3- MERELY,  as... turning people into INSTRUMENTS, means to further ENDS
 

RESPECT

how does Kant define respect? SELF-WORTH. DIGNITY (ALL PRIMARY PROPERTIES OF SELF).

ALSO, SYMMETRY AND SELF-SYMMETRY. YOU RESPECT WHEN YOU SELF-RESPECT.
