Kantian ethics has been criticized as being exceptionless. Is this a true criticism? In your answer explain your position
The answer can be either way; yes, it is a true criticism or, no, it is not. Those who believe that it is too exceptionless can argue that this makes the philosophy too rigid for real life. Real life situations are too varied, and, therefore, it is impossible to create rules that can guide us in all situations. Those who argue that the exceptionless quality of Kantian ethics is not a problem do so on the basis that to need exceptions is to regard experience as central to morality, which is metaphysically incorrect. They would argue that consequences are in the realm of experience and are therefore irrelevant to morality. Most practitioners find it uncomfortable to make decisions without consideration of consequences or, similarly, to make decisions based solely on seeking the highest utility.
