Abstract

The article focuses on Kant's Formula of Universal Law (FUL) as a test of causality. It delves into why the FUL requires that a maxim be universalized and explores the relationship between universalizability and moral permissibility. Topics include the nature of the FUL as a test of cause, the intrinsic connection between the universalizability of a maxim and its role as a cause, and Kant's use of the concept of causality in the context of practical reason.
