"There Is Only One Categorical Imperative, and It Is This

"There is only one categorical imperative, and it is this: Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law." From this formulation of the categorical imperative, Kant derived another, which states,

A) "Treat humanity, whether in your own person or the person of any other, never merely as a means, but also always as an end in themselves."
B) "Treat reason, as the fundamental principle of action, always as a guide."
C) "Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should agree with your inclinations."
D) "Therefore the universal law of nature is, the existence of things so far as it is determined by universal law."
E) "Serve the will as the objective ground of its self-determination, and all such relative ends can be grounds only for hypothetical imperatives."
