I'm not going to go back in and brush up with a google search. I'm going to answer this straight up using deduction:
Kant was/is a DEONTOLOGIST. This means that his system is built around the construct that we are duty bound to follow certain societal rules & norms.
So I would say that his theory would be based on showing how honoring what's best for others is honestly admitting that it's what's best for ME, the individual as well. This admission not only supports the theory in "the here and now", but also (because there really is no way around it) demonstrates that the theory is "A PRIORI"!!!!
