   In order to make sense of "categorical imperative", you must first   
   define what is and is not a "universal moral law". Typically, Kant   
   leads one into a useless twisting maze with no exit.   
      
   Does "free will" mean doing what you want or doing anything   
   you want? In other words, freer than who or what?   
      
   Kant was a /Christian/ philosopher. There are difficulties   
   translating Christian philosophy into anything meaningful to   
   Buddhists. For starters, "the world" in Christianism is the world   
   of men. In Buddhism, "the world" is the world of the individual   
   being. Regards, Rale
