Morality, Intention, Skill

Perhaps the fundamental challenge to Kant is that his acceptance of Newtonian Physics entails an acceptance of Newtonian Determinism, which seems to preclude the possibility of Morality.  His solution is a Morality of Intention, according to which the bearer of Value is the Why? of behavior, which can be determined independently of the What?, an event that is part of a mechanical Causal sequence.  But, one weakness of this solution is that by severing the Intention from the Action, it leaves them unrelated, with Intention reduced to mere Wish, thereby trivializing Morality.  In contrast, an alternative solution to the challenge is a Morality of How?, which evaluates an Action on the basis of how skillfully it is performed, thereby avoiding Kant's flaw, i. e. it maintains a connection between an Action and the locus of its Value.  And, just as the source of a suitable Intention is, in Kant's system, Pure Practical Reason, Skill is an expression of Technical Reason.
