Got Principles?

"A rational agent is one who has the power to act in accordance with his idea of laws--that is, to act in accordance with principles."

Immanuel Kant, Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals, Translated and analyzed by H.J. Paton, Analysis of the Argument, Chapter II, Outline of a Metaphysic of Morals, pg. 25
