According to the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, which of the following is an unconditioned good?

  1. Happiness

  2. Security

  3. Beauty

  4. Duty

The correct answer is: Duty

Immanuel Kant believed that there are certain actions that are morally right in themselves, without needing to be motivated by any kind of reward or personal gain. These are known as "unconditioned goods." Out of the listed choices, "Duty" is the only option that fits this definition. "Happiness" and "Security" are both considered conditioned goods, as they are typically pursued for personal benefit. "Beauty" is also considered a conditioned good, as it is often appreciated for its aesthetic value rather than for its intrinsic moral worth.
