When conducting the universalizability test, Kant asks us to consider

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kant's universalizability test involves considering our maxim (the principle behind our action) as if it were a universal law of nature and then examining whether the action, based on this maxim, could logically and coherently still achieve its intended purpose. If the action would necessarily fail to achieve its purpose under these conditions, it fails the test and is deemed morally impermissible.
