Kant's Philosophy of Ethics and Self-Discipline and Mariupol: The Story of Terra, a Female Military Doctor of the Ukrainian Army

author:Golden Valley Wisdom

There are differences between Western philosophy and Eastern philosophy, and there are also significant differences in moral issues, the morality of Eastern philosophy is the norm and norm of people's common life and their behavior, and no sage specifically explains where morality comes from and why it becomes the norm and norm of behavior. While Western philosophy pays more attention to why and how, Kant's moral philosophy is an important part of Western philosophy, and Kant's morality includes self-discipline and other laws.

In Kant's view, the self-discipline of morality is manifested in the conscious observance of the universal laws promulgated by the rational man, that is, the rational man himself legislates his own observance, and the law obeyed by the subject of morality is the rule within himself. He emphasized that human reason obeys the "absolute command" as a moral law, and that life is worthy of the happiness it has attained. Kant's moral standards are defined in the inner, inner, and rational nature of man, rather than external binding force.

Kant's moral law is simply that man obeys the laws of nature as a member of the perceptual world, which is the moral law. As a member of the world of reason, obeying only the laws of reason is self-discipline, and Kant's moral philosophy consists of self-discipline and other laws as two aspects of the unity of moral thought.

Simply put, Kant's moral philosophy is the other law of obedience to the laws of nature, and at the same time comes from the moral scale of the human heart, which is the inner voluntary self-compulsive action, and thus the feeling of happiness in life.

For example, the general manager of the Ukrainian Blitz-Inform publishing house, the editor-in-chief of the journal "Business" and the author of the "Business 100" project "Vladimir Chepovoy" was killed in battle, which was confirmed by the announcement of the press secretary of the deputy chairman of the Kiev City Government "Lyudmila Chikota", a rich man who fulfilled his promise to dedicate himself to the motherland he loved.

Patriotism is also an intrinsic morality, and Vladimir Chebovoy is clearly in line with Kant's philosophical ideas, which are not only deeply rooted in Western culture, but also in line with the needs of human nature, and there are many examples in Ukraine, such as the International Volunteer Army, the 72 warriors who flew to immortality, the warriors who insisted on the isolated city of Mariupol, and so on.

So don't listen to the one-sided propaganda of the Russian media, what Ukrainian rich people have run out, economic oligarchies, etc., may indeed exist, but not all, they just grasped a partial amplification, and in the Russian definition of oligarchy and the Nazis, the same as the Nazis, against Russia are Nazis, the same market economy, not controlled by the state of the medium and large business owners are oligarchs, they just named a term, this term sounds very exaggerated, people are very disgusted when they hear it, As for whether this term accurately reflects the facts, no one cares.

Paievska was later captured by Russian troops. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on Friday, June 17, 2022, that Russia had released Paievska.

The female military medical carry-on camera recorded the rescue of the wounded, including the Ukrainian army, in two weeks, and the film was filmed for a total of 256GB, which was eventually smuggled out of the besieged city of Mariupol by the Associated Press team.

The story of Tyra, a Ukrainian female military doctor

A famous Ukrainian female military doctor recorded what she had seen and heard in Mariupol on an SD card smaller than a thumb nail, inserted in a tampon and smuggled around the world. Now she was in Russian hands, and by this time Mariupol was on the verge of falling.

Yuliia Paievska is known in Ukraine as Taira, her nickname in the video game World of Warcraft. Over the course of two weeks, she captured 256Gb of data with her carry-on camera, documenting her team's frantic efforts to bring people back from the brink of death. She sent the heart-wrenching videos to a team at The Associated Press, one of the last international journalists stationed in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, who then fled the city with tampons hiding the videos.

The next day, March 16, Russian soldiers arrested Terra and her driver, one of many cases of enforced disappearance in areas of Ukraine currently under Russian control. The Russians called Terra a nationalist Azov battalion job, in line with Moscow's attempts to "de-nazify" Ukraine. But the Associated Press found no such evidence, with friends and colleagues saying she had no relationship with Azov.

The field hospital where she was responsible for the evacuation of the wounded was also unrelated to the Azov battalion, whose members had retreated to a sprawling steel mill in Mariupol for weeks. The video recorded by Terra herself proves the fact that she tried to rescue wounded Russian soldiers and Ukrainian civilians.

A video recorded on March 10 showed two Russian soldiers being brutally taken from an ambulance by a Ukrainian soldier. One in a wheelchair. The other was kneeling on the ground, hands tied behind his back, and the leg injury was obvious. They wear winter hats to cover their eyes and white armbands on their arms.

A Ukrainian soldier cursed at them. "Calm, calm," Terra told him.

A woman asked her, "Are you going to heal the Russians?"

"They really don't treat us well," she replied. "But I have no choice. After all, they were prisoners of war. ”

Now a prisoner of the Russians, Terra is one of hundreds of prominent Ukrainians who have been kidnapped or arrested, including local officials, journalists, activists and human rights defenders.

The United Nations Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine has documented 204 cases of enforced disappearance. Some of the victims may have been tortured, they said, and at least 5 deaths were later confirmed. The Office of the Ukrainian Women Ombudsman said that by the end of April, thousands of people had been reported missing, 528 of whom may have been taken.

The Russians also targeted medical personnel and hospitals, although the Geneva Conventions guaranteed the safety of medical personnel in the field and civilians "in all circumstances." The World Health Organization confirmed that health care facilities and personnel have been attacked more than 100 times since the war began, and that number is likely to rise.

Recently, on May 8, Russian soldiers dragged a woman from a convoy passing through Mariupol, accusing her of being a military doctor and forcing her to choose whether to let her 4-year-old daughter be taken with her or left her alone. U.N. officials say the mother and daughter eventually separated, and the little girl finally managed to reach the Ukrainian city.

"It's not just about saving a woman," said Oleksandra Chudna, who volunteered to become Terra's medical assistant in 2014. "Terra represents all those health care workers and women who are on the front lines."
