Contradiction in conception(as one of Kant's tests for determining morality): A test Kant proposed to check if an action is moral: if you tried to make your action a universal law that everyone followed, would it logically fall apart or become impossible?
Contradiction in willing(as a test for moral rules): When you want something to happen, but you'd actually contradict yourself by getting what you want. For example, wanting everyone to break their promises while expecting others to keep promises to you.
Kant(as used in epistemology and metaphysics): Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) was an influential German philosopher who argued that our minds shape how we experience reality, and that we can only truly know things as they appear to us, not as they are in themselves.
Korsgaard(as a philosopher referenced for her theory of practical identity): Christine Korsgaard is a modern philosopher who argues that our sense of self-worth comes from being able to reflect on and justify our actions through reason.
