ABSTRACT
This chapter explains the kantianism, we might perhaps expect this to change: we might expect to encounter a moral theory in which rules are fundamental. This brief summary of Kants ethics may make it clear why author has started by saying that rules or principles are not the fundamental thing in Kantianism. Kant might mean, for instance, that although there is nothing wrong with acting without running through the categorical imperative decision procedure, it is only when we use that procedure that our action has positive moral worth. Either way, the chapter plays a key role in developing the last question about Kantianism that will be discussed here, concerning its route from self to others. The basic ideas of contractarianism are simple and few. And that someone who is a Kantian can also be a contractarian has already been demonstrated, since Kantianism is simply one form of contractarianism.
