2. Kant is opposed to social engineers in the government treating mens rea requirements in criminal law as a tool for promoting the common good because he believes doing so is morally equivalent to: Taking revenge on a wrongdoer, with the idea that justice requires “an eye for an eye.” Trying to rehabilitate someone who is in prison for committing an egregious wrong. Scapegoating an innocent person as a means of preventing a violent riot. Correct! Wrong!
