The “universal formula”

At this point, let us summarize the three (or five) formulas of the moral law, the system of which constitutes the result of the Groundwork’s search for the supreme principle of morality:

First formula:

FUL

The Formula of Universal Law: “Act only in accordance with that maxim through which you at the same time can will that it become a universal law” (Groundwork, 4:421; cf. 4:402);

with its more “intuitive” variant,

FLN

The Formula of the Law of Nature: “So act, as if the maxim of your action were to become through your will a universal law of nature” (Groundwork, 4:421; cf. 4:436).
