I really admire Kant's approach to moral philosophy, particularly his categorical imperative. I specifically like his approach to the Universality Formula, where you should only do things if you'd be okay with everyone else doing them too. If this action can be universalized then it is morally acceptable. I think this approach is unique and insightful but it doesn't go without its flaws. Kant, being an absolutist, means that no action can be morally acceptable if it is not universalizable. Murder can be a great example. Socially, we accept murder as a universal immoral action but according to the Universality Formula, it can't be considered to be completely immoral. Because the formula is absolute, that means no one would ever act on murder if it truly was an universal immoral maxim. Therefore, I wonder what maxim passes the Universal Formula?
