Kant called this the categorical imperative: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categorical_imperative https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categorical_imperative - a philosophical statement about morality:
"Act only according to that maxim whereby you can, at the same time, will that it should become a universal law."
- rfrank 10y agoThank you. That's exactly what I was thinking of, it's just late haha.
- raverbashing 10y agoCorrect (in the philosophical sense) However hindsight is 20/20 and you can't make rules for everything Wanting to make everything an universal law is missing the trees for the forest. Because things change and situations change and what has worked before may not work anymore or have a detrimental effect. Violence might not be moral, but it works.
- rfrank 10y agoSo many words, so little to say.
- Mithaldu 10y agoFine and all, but what exactly is the law here?
