Kant’s Categorical Imperative

1. A person acts morally if his or her conduct would, without condition, be the "right" conduct for any person in similar circumstances (the "First Maxim").
2. Conduct is "right" if it treats others as ends in themselves and not as means to an end (the "Second Maxim").
3. A person acts morally when he or she acts as if his or her conduct was establishing a universal law governing others in similar circumstances (the "Third Maxim").
