Kan't? Kan too!
Kant holds that there are two types of imperatives:
are only vaild if there is a goal, a "determination of the will." these imperatives are descriptive, non-normative, and Matter-of-Fact.
are independently true. they don't depend on any outside logic or reasoning, but are fully correct in-and-of themselves.
Kant further defined three types of imperatives that we should use to guide us in our daily lives:
Imp. of Skill: To Do _____, you could/should ______ ("to drive well, you should practice.")
Imp. of Prudence: Imp. of Skill involving health ("to have stronge lungs, jog.")
Imp. of Morality: SEE Exodus 20:3-17 (the Big Ten).
obviously, Kant sees the first two as Hypothetical, the first with variable goals, the second with the unstated goal of attaining and maintaining good physical health. I just wrote an in-class paper on how the third was also a Hypothetical, as opposed to a Categorical as Kant states.
This was important. then i found
