Explanation:

• Question 6: Kant's "end - in - oneself" concept emphasizes respect for rational agents, duty of beneficence, and intrinsic rights. Using someone as a means (even with consent) goes against the core of being an end - in - oneself.
• Question 7: Retributivism in Kant's view is based on the idea that rational agents (maxim - makers) are responsible for their actions. Rehabilitation is more of a utilitarian (reform - based) idea, and using as a deterrent is also a utilitarian (consequence - based) approach.
• Question 8: The given statement is a classic formulation of Kant's Categorical Imperative. Teleological imperatives are based on ends (consequences), naturalistic moralism is a different ethical approach, and hedonism is about pleasure.
• Question 9: For Kant, the highest value is the good will, not human happiness.
• Question 10: Kantian Ethics is based on reason (the Categorical Imperative), while the Divine Command Theory is based on God's commands.

• Question 7: 3. Are responsible for their actions as maxim - makers
