Write an essay on the following case. Be sure to first set out what you believe the deontological position to be. Second, evaluate whether or not you agree with the solution based upon personal worldview or community worldview tenets. Make your reasons very explicit. Be sure to highlight one of Kant’s categorical imperatives regarding prohibitions, obligations, and permissions in formulating your answers.

THE CASE:

You attend a small university. You are very much in love with your significant other. He/she is the strong, loyal, plodding type, and you think that you definitely want to marry. You have been living together for the past 18 months. The problem is that you met another person. This person is a sports star and you think he/she is very hot. One night, after this person had an exceptional game, you were in a coterie that surrounded that person. Your significant other was home studying for a math final. That night, you had sex with the sports star. You know that your significant other is a very traditional person. He/she does not even look at another person because he/she is so attached to you. After the game and the affair, you return to your significant other and also have sex with them, but he/she becomes suspicious (they say it is “different.”) He/she asks you whether you have been with someone else. What do you say? Direct your responses to the rules of deontology.
