In paragraph nine, Kant described his “second proposition. ... To understand Kant’s propositi0n it is necessary to analyze it in two parts. ... According to Kant, any kind of inclination to do a good will would render the action morally unworthy. As Kant said, a good will is good not as a means but in itself.
Part Two: “…but in the maxin in accordance with which it is decided upon”- maxin means our own principle or rule of conduct. ...
As a summary, Kant’s second proposition means that the action would be performed based on one’s own personal principle of volition- that is the power of using one’s will- as a binding promise to do good will even if at times it is against one’s own happiness.
