Half page answer

 

Good will

Good will is unconditional good. It seems to constitute the indispensable condition of our very worthiness to be happy. Good will is the only good without qualification.  A good will is not good because of what it effects or accomplishes because of its fitness for attaining some proposed end: it is good thoughts willing alone that is, good in itself. It is the source of morality basis of humanity. That is, that which making a human being worthy of being human is the power of willing.  Goodwill is an accounting concept meaning the value of an entity over and above the value of its assets. An attitude of kindness or friendliness; benevolence. An attitude of kindness or friendliness; benevolence. Cheerful acquiescence or willingness. Kant says that the good will is the only thing "good without limitation". By this he obviously does not mean that it is the only thing that is good, since he goes on to list and classify other goods whose goodness is not without limitation. What he means is that considered in itself the good will is something entirely good and in no respect bad. He explains that the good will is the only good thing whose goodness is not diminished by its combination with anything else – even with all the evil things that may be found in conjunction with it.
