The Categorical Imperative Socks
Main Tag:
Description: One maxim, universalised, rings the whole globe in copies of itself until it cancels out under a bold red cross. What if everyone did what you are about to do? Test your maxim by imagining it as a law for all. A lying promise, universalised, destroys the very trust it relies on. Morality is what reason can will without contradiction.
