1. Read the following short ethical case from the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics

How can Kantian Deontology, in particular the first two formulations of the Categorical Imperative, help us analyze the ethical dilemma posed by the case of the Solar Falsifier? Use your knowledge of Kantian Deontology from the readings and examples from your own experience and ethical judgments to make your argument. Make sure to address possible objections to your argument.
2. Consider more deeply Kant’s second formulation of the categorical imperative. What effect on ethical decisions does treating persons as “ends” but never as “means” have? Use your knowledge of Kantian Deontology from the readings and examples from your own experience and ethical judgments to make your argument. Make sure to address possible objections to your argument
