Morality of pure reason- not power.

You cannot knock Kant's idea that we would everyone of us reach the same moral conclusion by applying pure reason to our intended actions.

If we did everything on the prerogative of it becoming a universal rule and thus would be applicable to ourselves and everybody, very few of us would have issues with each others actions... This means empowerment of the individual, instead of putting the power into a law system and the executives of that system- which is what is wrong at present: The system gets prerogative over the actual intent of the law...
