, STEP 1: EVALUATE THE ACT USING KANT'S
CATEGORICAL IMPERATIVE (WE'VE DONE THE FIRST
TWO STAGES FOR YOU) 1. State your proposed act as a maxim:
To evaluate an act using Kant's Categorical Imperative, you follow a
structured process. Here, I'll guide you through the process and help
you state your proposed act as a maxim.
Step 1: State Your Proposed Act as a Maxim
A maxim is a general rule or principle that a person uses to guide
their actions. To state your proposed act as a maxim, you need to
frame it in a way that it can be universally applied.
Let's consider an example act for this purpose:
Proposed Act: Sharing complete and trusted solutions for an
assignment with others to ensure their success.
Maxim: "Whenever I need to ensure success for myself and others
in an assignment, I will share complete and trusted solutions with
them."
Step 2: Universalize the Maxim
To apply Kant's Categorical Imperative, we need to test the maxim
by imagining a world where everyone follows this principle. This
step has already been completed for you.
Universalized Maxim: "Whenever anyone needs to ensure success
for themselves and others in an assignment, they will share complete
and trusted solutions with each other."
Step 3: Check for Contradictions
