Write the following text in recycled sheet and give it tomorrow.
categorical imperatives are generally "must do X" or, as prohibitive, "you should not do X," "must be true", "no you must steal, "are examples of categorical imperatives. However care must be taken because the mere linguistic expression is not sufficient to determine whether the imperative that has guided our conduct is hypothetical or categorical: To find out if either is the case necessary to refer to what has prompted our will: if we have not won, our conduct is in accordance with duty (as the imperative "thou shalt not steal"), but if we have not won for fear the police, who have followed the imperative is hypothetical ("thou shalt not steal unless you want trouble with the police"), but if we have not stolen because the act of stealing is bad in itself, regardless whether or not we can stop the police, then our imperative is categorical. Kant held that one can never be absolutely certain that our conduct was motivated by an interest or a fear, and therefore concluded that when it seems to follow a categorical imperative is always possible that the imperative for which we are governed is hypothetical .
Kant also gives a general formula of the categorical imperative, formulas that summarize all the moral precepts:
1 .- Formula of Universal Law
"Work only as a maximum so that you can at the same time that it becomes universal law" 2 .-
law formula
nature "Work as if the maxim of your action should become by your will a universal law of nature" Formula
end in itself:
3 .- "Act so that you use humanity, both your person or in the person of any other, always as an end at the same time and never merely as a means "
Formula of Autonomy:
4 .-" Work as if you were through your maxims always a member legislature in a universal kingdom of ends "
