Could you unpack a bit this small leap for man? (Maxims aren't verified, in
terms of moral assessment. They are assessed for 4 features of moral
impermissibility identified by Kant's moral theory.)
Towards the end of his life, Kant too thought he sighted a connection between
morality and aesthetics. It may well have been that idea, that final straw,
that ultimately led to his final expiration.
