How a Kantian decides what to do

Allen W. Wood

pp. 263-284

Kantians decide what to do by deciding what you ought to do. Wood argues that Kantian ethics proposes no discursive criterion of right action. The testing of maxims for universalizability represents only a way of judging whether actions are permissible exceptions to already recognized duties. A more crucial concept is provided by conscience.
