Kantian ethics places a great emphasis on formulating rules for guiding our actions, as he uses the concept of the categorical imperative to determine the morality of an action. The categorical imperative can be formulated as a few different rules, but they all emphasize a universal principle that actions must only be done if they can be made into a universal law, and must always respect the dignity and autonomy of human beings.
