	1	+In order for an action to be moral, it must first be willed universally:
	2	+1. An agent’s will acts on a law that it gives to itself. If pleasure were a law to you, then you would straightaway do the pleasurable act, but since you’re autonomous, you can reason about taking the action. Thus a condition of action is that the will is self-determined. KORSGAARD:
	3	+“Self-Constitution in the Ethics of Plato and Kant” by Christine M. Korsgaard
	4	+“It remains to show ... on which you act.” (120-123)
	5	+
	6	+And, only universally willing can be self-determined. KORSGAARD 2:
	7	+“Self-Constitution in the Ethics of Plato and Kant” by Christine M. Korsgaard
	8	+“The second step is ... an action of something within him.” (123-124)
	9	+And, this also proves an intent foresight distinction. Foreseen effects are independent of what an agent determines because the consequences themselves are dependent upon things external to the will so only intentions can be self determined.
	10	+2. Actions are expressions of an agent’s reasoning from their end to the means, which unifies their action into a cohesive movement as opposed to fragmented steps.
	11	+ROEDL:
	12	+Sebastian Roedl. Prof. Of Philosophy, University of Leipzig. “Two Forms of Practical Knowledge and Their Unity” in Ford and Hornsby, Eds. Essays on Anscombe's Intention (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2011) 239.
	13	+“We can give a more ... conscious of her nexus.”

	15	+The sufficient negative burden is to prove that prohibiting the production of nuclear power cannot be willed as a universal principle.
	16	+
	17	+Contention:
	18	+No empirical object is intrinsically valuable. Their value lies only in relationship to rational agency. KANT:

	25	+Using the particular to inform the universal is key. Critique versus racist ideology is hopeless. Only the NC allows change because a common and binding feature is present. PENSKY:
	26	+“The Cambridge Companion to Habermas” by Stephen K. White 1995
	27	+“The universalist kernel ... means something like the basic
	28	+shared mentality that allows individuals to conceive of themselves
	29	+as citizens of a democratic state, one in which citizenship consists
	30	+of a constellation of interlocking duties and rights that together form an abstract level of popular sovereignty subsisting below - and making possible the spectrum of particularistic kinds of identity operating within a diverse society. In democratic societies, the capacity for mutual recognition and the generalization of norms must install itself as an attitude that can reflectively separate from the particular fabric of their own interest.”
	31	+
	32	+2. Connecting text to the real world is key to produce social change. A “straight away” revolutionary approach is doomed since it lacks self-reflection. Refusal to engage in theory turns their argument. SMITH and EATON:
	33	+“Role of reflection and praxis in community-based learning and social justice work” by Toby Smith and Marie Eaton http://cielearn.org/wp-content/themes/ciel/docs/Praxis_Social20Justice202-10.pdf
	34	+“If reflection is an ... what we do, between text and our lives. ”

	36	+3. The Kantian subject is the embodied subject—universalizability is essential to mutual recognition of others. FARR:
