For Immanuel Kant, goodwill is the only intrinsic good and the foundation of moral worth. It refers to the intention to act according to moral duty, guided by reason and the categorical imperative, rather than by self-interest or external consequences. A truly good will acts out of a sense of duty, reflecting a commitment to ethical principles, and is characterized by a sense of respect for the moral law. Thus, goodwill is central to Kant's ethical framework, emphasizing the importance of intention over outcomes in moral actions.
