The Categorical Imperative: "Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law." – Immanuel Kant, resident of Königsberg, Germany, 1724-1804 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hello. I've been a Wikipedian since 2004. The photo above was taken in Kaliningrad, Russia, in 1998, at Kant's tomb. While I cannot claim to be a serious student of Kant, I value some of his basic thoughts, including the motto "Dare to know" (Latin: sapere aude). I have a B.A. in journalism and 30-some years' experience as a reporter, editor and copy editor – and experience as an intake officer at a state human rights commission.
