Which philosopher is primarily associated with the concepts that the 'Self is Prior to its Ends' and 'Right is Prior to the Good'?
Immanuel Kant's deontological ethics posits that moral duties and the 'right' are independent of and prior to individual conceptions of the 'good'. This framework emphasizes individual autonomy, where the self exists as a rational agent capable of determining its own ends through universal moral laws rather than being defined by pre-existing social or personal goals.
292
Which ethical framework posits that individuals should act only according to rules that could be universally applied?
This statement reflects Immanuel Kant's categorical imperative, a central principle in his deontological ethics. Kant believed actions are morally right if they could be universalized, meaning everyone could act according to the same rule without contradiction. This emphasizes duty and moral law over the consequences of actions, distinguishing it from utilitarian approaches.
293
Which fundamental principle serves as the cornerstone of modern democratic governance?
In modern democracy, the principle that people hold ultimate power signifies that citizens, through their elected representatives, determine the laws and policies of the state. This contrasts with authoritarian systems where power is concentrated in a monarch or elite. While other options relate to political ethics or interest group theory, popular sovereignty remains the defining foundation of democratic legitimacy.

According to V.D. Savarkar's definition of Hindutva, which group is excluded from being considered Hindu?
Savarkar defined a Hindu as someone who considers India (Bharatvarsha) both their fatherland (Pitrubhumi) and their holy land (Punnyabhumi). He argued that those whose holy lands are located outside of India, such as Christians and Muslims, cannot be considered Hindus because their primary religious allegiance lies outside the cultural and geographical boundaries of the Indian nation, thus excluding them from his specific definition of Hindutva.
