Immanuel Kant, the categorical imperative. It rather self-explanatory from an ethical standpoint: act such that if a maxim were made of your action and applied UNIVERSALLY and still function, which is what he leaves out in the actual wording. Take lying,Ugg boots Cheap. According to Kant, if you lie, it gives everyone permission to lie, and if everyone lies, truth ceases to exist, and that would cause the structure of the thing (a lie without truth) to create an internal contradiction. If you kill, imagine everyone kills, then who left alive,Jeremy Scott Wings? Stuff like that. So his basic idea is that you should only do things that would be allowable if all of society did them. So create a "maxim" like "it okay to lie" and then turn it into a universal law and see if it still works.
