Kantian Ethics:

1.  What is the ultimate principle or rule of morality in Kant's ethical theory?
2.  Why is that rule or principle an ultimate rule?
3.  What are the two (there are actually three, but we are dealing only with the first two) formulations of the Categorical Imperative?  What do they mean?  How do they apply to Kant's own examples of the lying promise, suicide, developing talents, and the duty we have to be beneficent?  What about other examples that you might derive for yourself?
