Night School: Kant’s Categorical Imperative

“In law a man is guilty when he violates the rights of others. In ethics he is guilty if he only thinks of doing so.” That’s Immanuel Kant, 18th century German philosopher who tried to establish a rational foundation for ethical thinking. This week Fuad outlines the Kantian project, gives a sense of why Kant’s intervention was a turning point in Western thinking about ethics.
