Imagine a world where everyone follows the same rule you’re about to make a decision on. That’s the core of Kantian ethics: The Categorical Imperative. Act only in ways that could be universal laws. This philosophy guides individuals and institutions towards ethical accountability.

Respect is paramount. Kant believed everyone deserves inherent dignity, and institutions should reflect this in fair and inclusive policies.

Taking responsibility is key. Don’t be a bystander! Speak up against injustice and hold yourself and others accountable for actions.

Beyond following rules, act with “good will.” Do what you think is right, not for personal gain. Institutions should foster a culture that encourages ethical behavior driven by good intentions.

Kantian ethics provide a framework for navigating complex situations and promoting a more just and ethical world.
