My Reformulation of the Categorical Imperative
I'd like to offer an atheistic ethic that gives a kind of fidelity of love to as much or all processes of becoming as possible. It's sort of an expansion and critique of the teleology of the categorical imperative:
Original Categorical Imperative: Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, never merely as a means to an end, but always at the same time as an end.
My reformulation : Act in such a way that you treat processes of becoming, whether your own or any other, never merely as a means to an end or an end that sacrifices its endlessness, but always at the same time as a free an opened endlessness in itself.
Not saying I live up to this at all but it is an ideal I would wish to see as a horizon of who I can be.
