The Kantian Categorical Imperative is perhaps the most ambitious and elegant attempt to axiomatize morality from pure practical reason.
Its famous formulations capture an impressive amount of moral structure:
- Universal Law: act only on a maxim you could rationally will as a universal law.
- Humanity: treat humanity, in yourself and others, always as an end and never merely as a means.
- Kingdom of Ends: act as though you were legislating principles for a community of rational equals.
