Off the top of my head, Kant didn't speak in epistemelogical terms of truth or correct; instead, he was concerned with statements or rules regarding actions to a given situation that can/could universally be considered moral and praiseworthy and accurately guide someone as to what they ought to do. So, the first criteria was that if and only if a rule acted upon is logically universalizable (e.g., 'One ought to lie with regard to condition x' logically cannot be universalized because it destroys any truth value, lie or not, when condition x arises) and that if and only if the rule acted upon treats humans only as ends in themselves and not mere means (e.g., don't use people), then the rule accurately guides what one ought to do and any action resulting from following such is both moral and praiseworthy. Note, there are some tricky caveats - the person who develops and acts on some rule that is moral and gains some satisfaction from doing such is not praiseworthy; these have to be situations where you act against what you really really would prefer. So if 'I ought to punch jaywalkers in the face' and it meets the universal criterion and I love doing the moral act so much I run around town punching people in the face, my action is not praiseworthy, but it might just happen to be moral. Also, any rule you think of that meets both criteria does not imply it's legal. So, unfortunately, you can't legally punch jaywalkers in the face even though it might be moral and, further, if some offer their praise for your action.

What is one formulation of Kants categorical imperative?
One formulation of Kant's categorical imperative is the principle of universalizability, which states that you should only act on those maxims (personal principles or motivations) that you can will to be a universal law applicable to everyone. In other words, if you wouldn't want everyone to act in the same way you're considering, then you shouldn't act that way yourself.
What is kants view on euthanasia?
Kant's view on euthanasia is influenced by his deontological ethics, which emphasize the importance of duty and the categorical imperative. He believed that human life has intrinsic value and should be respected, arguing that taking a life, even with consent, undermines the moral law. Therefore, Kant would likely oppose euthanasia, as it contradicts the duty to preserve life and the principle of treating humanity as an end in itself, not merely as a means to an end.

On Kants view the moral community is composed of?
For Kant, the moral community is composed of rational beings, which includes all human beings capable of reasoning and making moral decisions based on the categorical imperative. This means that individuals have inherent worth and dignity, and should be treated as ends in themselves rather than means to an end. This forms the basis for ethical principles and the idea of universal moral duties.

Criticisim of kants morality theory?
Kant doesn't believe that the consequences of an action matter at all – only the intentions count. In a Kantian system, a drunk driver and a drunk driver who hits and kills someone would be punished equally. Kant also has a very strict definition of what it means to act with good intentions – it means to follow the categorical imperative that Kant postulates. A good example of where Kant offers a counter-intuitive answer is in the Ax Murderer scenario. If an ax murderer came to your door, and inquired where a friend of yours was so that he might kill your friend, Kant says that while you can make every effort to help your friend, you must not lie to the murderer. There are ways to get around it, but it's a good place to start with a criticism of Kant.
