“A political life, I've often said, is a continuing education in human nature, including one's own. My involvement on the ground floor of two presidential campaigns and my duties as First Lady took me to every state in our union and to seventy-eight nations. In each place, I met someone or saw something that caused me to open my mind and my heart and deepen my understanding of the universal concerns that most of humanity shares.” MindFirstsHumansHeartSaidTwoStatesPoliticalHumanityNationsUnderstandingSawsShareHuman NatureDutyMy HeartMetsConcernUniversalUnionsIncludingEightCampaignsPresidentialContinuingSeventiesInvolvementFirst LadyPolitical LifePresidential Campaign Author:Hillary Clinton

“Kant regards the universalizability test for maxims as focused on a very special sort of situation: one where the agent is tempted to make an exception to a recognized duty out of self-preference. The universalizability test is supposed help the agent to see, in a particular case of moral judgment, that self-preference is not a satisfactory reason for exempting yourself from a duty you recognize. Kant thinks, as a matter of human nature, that this situation arises often enough and that we need a canon of judgment to guard against it.” ThinkingNeedsHumansSelfMatterReasonEnoughHelpingSituationMoralCasesSpecialHuman NatureParticularDutyJudgmentTestsRegardFocusedAriseAgentsExceptionPreferenceTemptedMaximsCanonMoral Judgment Author:Allen W.
