act in such a way that you can will that your act should be a universal law.
Kant doesn't believe that the consequences of an action matter at all – only the intentions count. In a Kantian system, a drunk driver and a drunk driver who hits and kills someone would be punished equally. Kant also has a very strict definition of what it means to act with good intentions – it means to follow the categorical imperative that Kant postulates. A good example of where Kant offers a counter-intuitive answer is in the Ax Murderer scenario. If an ax murderer came to your door, and inquired where a friend of yours was so that he might kill your friend, Kant says that while you can make every effort to help your friend, you must not lie to the murderer. There are ways to get around it, but it's a good place to start with a criticism of Kant.
Christianity of his era. In respect to his morality however, he seeks to justify right and wrong outside and regardless of religion.
For Kant, the moral community is composed of rational beings, which includes all human beings capable of reasoning and making moral decisions based on the categorical imperative. This means that individuals have inherent worth and dignity, and should be treated as ends in themselves rather than means to an end. This forms the basis for ethical principles and the idea of universal moral duties.
