Vaguely (in the extreme) Doctor Who themed post:

I wanted to double-check the wording of Immanuel Kant's 'second formulation of the categorical imperative,' this morning, and was struck by how much he looked, in this portrait, like William Hartnell, playing a certain iconic television role. Yes/Yes?

That wording, BTW, goes like this:

Act with reference to every rational being (whether yourself or another) so that it is an end in itself in your maxim.

Yes, that portrait does resemble Hartnell, but I also think Hartnell had quite a generic face when he was older.

That. And also, he was deliberately given the hairstyle and costume of a "vaguely historical period."
