Categorical imperative
I don't forsee that this article will be headed for FAC any time soon, but I'm looking for some more input from non-philosophy buffs on clarity and comprehensiveness. This is a complicated and dense philosophical topic, so is there anything that could be done to improve it further? --Ryan Delaney talk 07:29, 9 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Yes. The criticism section is strange. Compare to this version . Ultramarine 08:43, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Several editors resolved this on the talk page already. --Ryan Delaney talk 14:26, 9 November 2005 (UTC)


 * The history is incomplete. When was the concept published, exactly who and what influenced Kant, what have happened after Kant, what is the impact of the concept? Ultramarine 12:54, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
 * This would go in Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals. --Ryan Delaney talk 14:26, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
 * That is a book. An encyclopedic article should describe the history of this important concept which includes much more than one book or one philosopher. Has nothing happened after the book was published or after Kant's death? Ultramarine 14:53, 9 November 2005 (UTC)


 * As stated, it is a complicated ethical concept, so some real-world examples would be nice. For example, how to apply it to abortion, animal rights, triage, or collateral damage. Ultramarine 12:54, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
 * This would be original research. --Ryan Delaney talk 14:26, 9 November 2005 (UTC)


 * You are stating that no one has applied this universal ethic concept to these ethical problems? If not, please give some other real-world examples in order clarify the concept. Surely someone must have tried to use it in the real-world? Ultramarine 14:35, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
