Categorical Imperatives 1

• An action is moral only if you can make your
  reason for acting into a rule that everyone can
  follow.
• If the rule is not self-defeating, the act is
  morally justifiable (which is not to say that it
  is morally required!)

Categorical Imperative 2

• Never use people simply as a means to an end
  always treat yourself and others as beings with
  infinite value.
• What ever can be substituted can have a price
• That which has no substitutes is priceless
• When we work with others or sell to them, we must
  be sure that they would agree with the projects
  and accept the products as we understand them
