What is the Categorical Imperative? | Kant | Keyword

Note During editing, I noticed that I too hastily labeled the imperative a law without first unpacking it as a command before becoming a law.
In this episode, I explain Kant's notion of the categorical imperative.

One of the clearest explanations of the categorical imperative Ive ever heard. Thank you

[@coolpix807]

Your explanation was very clear and the best I have heard. I am using Kant in considering business situations where they raise ethical concerns. This video helped my understanding. Thank you!

Simple it's a posterior categorical protocal since they bypass universal law as autistic minds. This is his moral philosophy on ethics, not his transcdental idealism. You know that 4 point protocol shit, the proper and he just knows everything. Explained in an abstraction that was like a paragraph from his practical critique on the very bottom of the work oh we don't want to read that nonsense and the critique of pure reason is like a nonsensical, comedic joke.

Very nice explanation. Please keep at it.

Hey! I am always indebted to you for your efforts. Could you please give us a talk on the concept of natural rights, especially liberty, from postmodernist perspective?

[@aakshisrivastava4291]

Hi, I really enjoy your teaching style. Could you please do one video on Ferdinand De Saussure's Course on Linguistics?

[@gvancakupreishvili7220]

Thank U! 💙 Could you record a new video, about Hume and his solipsism? 💙

[@aldonzoba-jf4tj]

Like your lecture so inspiring

[@butchnighthawk1673]

how is a platonic ideal different from the numinal world? is it like the same concept. ig it is since its not like, perfection but more mysterious and about existence or something

You said that noumena were things as they appear to themselves. Seems like a typo or something but you cannot use the word appear with noumena. Insofar as we appear to ourselves we are not noumena but an empirical "me", but insofar as we are in ourselves we are noumena, insofar as we are a transcendental "I".

I just realized you say what I said here a minute later. Must have been just a little typo then.

Also, it's funny that the same man who talks about categorical imperatives turns out to be a racist and a sexist. Kind of makes me believe philosophers may not practice what they have so ardently professed.

I am literally going to cry. I just spent the last 15 minutes critiquing your presentation of the categorical imperative, but it didn’t save. I’ll have to just make a video response; however, your biggest error is the two worlds interpretation. Henry sidgewick presented a damning critique of the two worlds interpretation

[@RpgGamer3]

Oh and FUNDAMENTALLY the categorical imperative is a negative test to determine when duties do not apply, not a positive test for finding duties

[@RpgGamer3]

Judgement is very similar to Aristotle’s notion of phronesis. ‘Lie’ is a technical term for Kant. You misunderstand declaration. A lie is an untrue declaration. Upon further reflection, we should converse one to one, not over a youtube comment section.

Do you have any recommendations on papers re the interpretation of the CI as a negative test

Imperatives are commands first

[@xaviercrain7336]

But Kant believes in natural law not biblical law…

[@timothywise9731]

It would be helpful to the know the spelling of the terms some of us may never have heard of. This video was poorly constructed preventing some of us from understanding what you’re babbling about.
