Kant's categorical imperative requires one to make ethical decisions as if they would be applied as rules that everyone had to follow. This means that the decision should be made without consideration of personal biases or interests, but rather based on principles that are universally applicable. This aligns with Kant's belief that morality should be based on reason, rather than emotions or subjective preferences.
