Universalisation definition

Universalisation in this context means a rule that becomes morally permissible for everyone to act on. See Kant’s references to ‘universal law’ and ‘universal law of nature’, Kant, The Moral Law (n 1) 83-86 paras 421-423. A modern version of universalisation is Rawl’s ‘original position’ behind a ‘veil of ignorance’, J Rawls, A Theory of Justice (OUP 1777) 15-17.
