Kant 1724-1804

Kant proposed that we could use reason alone to determine

what (not) to do.

The categorical imperative is

an instruction that is generalizable

from an individual to society.

Example:

We have a duty not to steal.

Without this duty anyone could

steal. Thus effectively no-one would own anything. If no-one owns anything

then nothing can be stolen.
