Kant describes two forms of imperatives, hypothetical and categorical.      Kant defines the hypothetical imperative as “an action

Analysis of Kant’s Categorical Imperative in Metaphysics Grounding for the metaphysics of morals is a foundation of Kant’s philosophy, in this book, Kant wants to build up a moral kingdom of metaphysical. At first, Kant extracted categorical imperative from the concepts of goodness, will and obligation and enacted some rational principles, then, he plans to map out moral metaphysic through categorical imperative. However, he failed to do so owing to that his theory is founded on purely idealism

solely on moral grounds. In order to fully explain the core principle of moral theory, Kant distinguishes between key notions such as a priori and a posteriori, and hypothetical imperative vs. categorical imperative, in order to argue whether the actions of rational beings are actually moral or if they are only moral

In this paper, the comparison of Immanuel Kant’s theory of The Categorical Imperative and Aristotle’s theory of Nature of Virtue is discussed. Kant’s theory will tell a categorical imperative, a hypothetical imperative, meaning of a maxim, a control condition, the meaning of good will, desires versus the reason and lastly, the formula of universal law. Aristotle’s theory will discuss the role of habituation, the life of rational activity, the function of humans, the meaning of eudemonia, the life

Two well-developed theories that offer solutions to such problems are Utilitarianism, proposed by John Stuart Mill, and the Deontological Theory of Ethics, advocated

but the Categorical Imperative is one of the most prevalent. Though this concept is extremely dense, the Categorical Imperative is the law of freedom that grounds pure ethics of the metaphysics of ethics. Categorical imperatives are the basis of morality because they provoke pure reasons for every human beings actions. By the end of his work, one will understand Kant’s beliefs on morality, but to explain

limitations and hindrance, which, however, far from concealing it and making It unrecognizable, rather bring it out by contrast and make it shine forth all the more brightly.” (Kant pg.104) 3. The Nature of Imperatives- if the action would be good merely as a means to something else the imperative is hypothetical; if the action is represented as in itself good, hence as necessary in a will in itself conforming to reason, as its principle, then it is categorical. ...
