Immanuel Kant - The Categorical Imperative.
\"Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law.\"
What if every choice you made became a rule for everyone else?
For Immanuel Kant, that’s not a mind game—it’s the test of a moral act.
This principle, known as the Categorical Imperative, asks us to act on maxims we’d be willing to universalize. No exceptions. No shortcuts. Just reason, duty, and integrity.
In a world hungry for shortcuts, this is the long road. And it still matters.
