  1. Kant said:

    In arriving at moral judgments one does better to ... follow the strict method and base one’s thinking on the universal formulation of the categorical imperative: Act in accordance with a maxim that can at the same time make itself a universal law.

    He went on:

    But if one wants to enable the moral law to have access to a mind, it is very useful to bring one and the same action under the ... concepts I have listed, and thus, so far as possible, to bring it nearer to intuition.

  2. The main criticism #Kant had of the #GoldenRule is that it relies too heavily on subjective personal inclinations and desires.A #sadist following the Golden Rule could justify inflicting pain on others. The #CategoricalImperative aims to be an objective, universally binding principle based on reason alone, not contingent on individuals' wants.
