Immanuel Kant, specifically his ideology on ethics. Kantian Deontology was a huge turning point for me in college. I remember learning about the flaws in modern moral standards (Golden Rule (Catholicism)). The categorical imperative at the time I thought was an amazing idea. Mostly his ideals about treating humanity as a means and an end really made sense. He believed in a universal law which in some regard I do believe in. Reading and taking classes on his work played a huge role on my moral standard.
