Hume vs Kant2

n fact; I believe that both elements are required in order to enhance the concept of morality. I find that Hume considers individual sentiment central to his thinking if this is true virtue would be a matter of individual choice and there could be not a universal concept of morality. Kant on the other hand neglects emotion and thinks a moral life based in the senses would lack the reliability of one based on reason. I believe some emotions like love and caring can be very reliable. I think many times these emotions can be a strong motivator especially in relationships, which Kant also neglects. In my view morals without reason to buffer us from emotions that create extreme action and rationality without emotion that would create robotics senseless actions would be chaos. Although Hume and Kant shared some ideas and principles they developed separate moralities and concepts that help in perceiving moral worth but deny elements essential to a balanced moral theory.
