Kant’s concept of the moral law, is basically one philosophers attempt to rationalize and formulate a theory that would explain human actions and their causation when a person is faced with a decision. Kant infers that since we all make decisions, there must be a given, or a priori set of operations or rationale of reason we all follow in judging and making moral decisions. He is clear to point out that this line of reasoning may not apply to everyone, rather these formulae and conjectures are judgments that apply to any typical, or average human being. Having said all of that, in regard to the specific questions at hand, whether or not the philosophy student should copy his roommate’s paper) we can apply Kant’s fundamental and formulaic principle of morality in making our decision. In this case, I believe we can expand our judgments of this individual’s character even further than simply an average human being.
