 However, Scanlon’s contractualism has Kantian elements, as it seeks a free agreement that elucidates both freedom and equality. We might say that contractualism gives expression to ideas latent in Kant’s discussions of the Categorical Imperative (especially in the Formula of Humanity and the Formula of the Kingdom of Ends, rather than the more familiar Formula of Universal Law). Indeed, as we shall see in  section 5,  Derek Parfit argues that, despite their differences, contractualism does coincide with the best interpretation of Kant’s moral theory.
