This world is not ours

If you think that Morality is not universal and thus is only human , then you need to read Kant.

Obviously Kant is a Godlike figure and THE LAST WORD on morality. THEREFORE we should ignore all work that preceeded and followed his.

Are you not aware that there are multiple bases for human morality, based on differing sets of assumptions... e.g.:

Utilitarianism: - it is right if no-one ends up worse off
Environmentalism - it is right if the environment does not end up worse off
Communism - it is right if we all have equal income
Egoism - It is right if it is right for you
Kantian theory - respect for people
Feminism - It is right if females are not subordinate and the experiences of females are taken seriously
Subservience - It is right only if it benefits someone else, but costs yourself
etc. etc.

There are a number of criticisms of Kantian theory. I can give you some of them if you like, but you would probably learn more by looking them up for yourself.

Of course, if you said:
"Under Kantian ethics, the ownership of land is immoral"
then we'd be closer to a philosophical statement, and on that particular one I might be forced to agree :P
