What is the Categorical Imperative? | Immanuel Kant Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals

This video goes over what the Kant's categorical imperative is, what it means, and 2 different formulations of it. A categorical imperative (as opposed to a hypothetical imperative) is a commanding rule that must be followed not for some external purpose but because the act itself is good. This is differentiated from something like consequentialist ethics which focuses on the consequences of an act rather than the act itself. There are a good handful of different formulations of the categorical imperative given in the groundwork for the metaphysics of morals. The universality formulation states that we shouldn't act unless we will that the maxim of our act become a universal law. The means/ends formulation states that we should view humanity as an end and not simply as a means. Back in college I struggled with the means formulation because it seemed like we treat others as means almost daily. It's impossible not to unless you live off the grid and are 100% self sufficient. But Kant isn't saying we can't treat others as means, just not merely as means. We need to also respect each others autonomy and consider the whole of humanity when acting. #philosophy #immanuelkant #ethics Instagram: @amygdalacomics Donations: https://ko-fi.com/philosophytoons Business Email: [email protected]
