OPM Medical Retirement: The Categorical Imperative

Posted onFebruary 28, 2015AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

It is, of course, the foundation of Kant’s moral philosophy; of the unconditional call to act in a certain way, accepted and mandated precisely because there is no room for question.

FERS & CSRS Disability Retirement from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management: Crisis Points of Urgency
