“Truthfulness in statements that one cannot avoid is a hum
“Truthfulness in statements that one cannot avoid is a human being’s duty to everyone, however great the disadvantage to him or another that may result from it; and although I indeed do no wrong to him who unjustly compels me to make the statement if I falsify it, I nevertheless do wrong in the most essential part of duty in general by such falsification, which can therefore be called a lie…that is, I bring it about, as far as I can, that statements (declarations) in general are not believed, and so too that all rights which are based on contracts come to nothing and lose their force; and this is a wrong inflicted on humanity generally.” (Kant, “On a Supposed Right to Lie from Philanthropy”, 8:426)https://books.google.com/books?id=0hCsbUjFiBwC&pg=PA612&lpg=PA612&dq=Truthfulness+in+statements+that+one+cannot+avoid+is+a+human+being%E2%80%99s+duty+to+everyone,+however+great+the+disadvantage+to+him+or+another+that+may+result+from+it;+and+although+I+indeed+do+no+wrong+to+him+who+unjustly+compels+me+to+make+the+statement+if+I+falsify+it,+I+nevertheless+do+wrong+in+the+most+essential+part+of+duty+in+general+by+such+falsification,+which+can+therefore+be+called+a+lie%E2%80%A6that+is,+I+bring+it+about,+as+far+as+I+can,+that+statements+(declarations)+in+general+are+not+believed,+and+so+too+that+all+rights+which+are+based+on+contracts+come+to+nothing+and+lose+their+force;+and+this+is+a+wrong+inflicted+on+humanity+generally.%E2%80%9D&source=bl&ots=phyqAr-Ciw&sig=ACfU3U0qOp9fHlz_wmkvfyWsMApK929CYQ&hl=zh-CN&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjIxKGo-aXoAhWJrp4KHYXpDosQ6AEwAHoECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=Truthfulness%20in%20statements%20that%20one%20cannot%20avoid%20is%20a%20human%20being%E2%80%99s%20duty%20to%20everyone%2C%20however%20great%20the%20disadvantage%20to%20him%20or%20another%20that%20may%20result%20from%20it%3B%20and%20although%20I%20indeed%20do%20no%20wrong%20to%20him%20who%20unjustly%20compels%20me%20to%20make%20the%20statement%20if%20I%20falsify%20it%2C%20I%20nevertheless%20do%20wrong%20in%20the%20most%20essential%20part%20of%20duty%20in%20general%20by%20such%20falsification%2C%20which%20can%20therefore%20be%20called%20a%20lie%E2%80%A6that%20is%2C%20I%20bring%20it%20about%2C%20as%20far%20as%20I%20can%2C%20that%20statements%20(declarations)%20in%20general%20are%20not%20believed%2C%20and%20so%20too%20that%20all%20rights%20which%20are%20based%20on%20contracts%20come%20to%20nothing%20and%20lose%20their%20force%3B%20and%20this%20is%20a%20wrong%20inflicted%20on%20humanity%20generally.%E2%80%9D&f=falseYour exegesis papers are your attempt to explain and interpret a difficult or striking passage from a text we are studying.
