How does morality determine what is right?
Kants categoric imperative. There are rules that apply for anyone taking no-power abuse as referential
I'm sorry, no. There are so many problems with Kant's categorical imperative. It comes from a tradition of trying to impose simplistic rules onto an inherently complex and messy subject. The Categorical Imperative would just cause misery if it were applied universally, which defeats the whole purpose of morality.
Morality isn't about rules or dictating what people can't do. It's about promoting well-being.
There is always a better way. Till there is no more.
