Kant's categorical imperative can also be called a verbal command or a moral law.In Kant's moral philosophy,categorical imperative occupies a central position,and categorical imperative runs through the entire moral philosophy system.Good will is the subject of categorical imperative,Duty is the objective result of categorical imperative,and Maxim and Rules are the content of categorical imperative.Kant starts from the will of goodness and introduces the concept of duty for a better explanation of the good will.Under the foundation of the concept of "duty",Kant introduces the moral law,that is,the law of categorical imperative as the form of expression,and the categorical imperative is established.The categorical imperative is the backbone of Kant's moral philosophy.From the only categorical imperative,the three variants of the categorical imperative,namely the universal formula,the human objective formula,and the will self-regulation formula are the most important.The importance of categorical imperative is self-evident,but the misunderstanding of categorical imperative cannot be ignored.Choosing representative critical opinions to analyze the dilemma of categorical imperative helps us to better understand categorical imperative and understand Kant's moral philosophy system.This thesis selects the categorical imperative in Kant's moral philosophy as the research object.Firstly,it sorts out the process of Kant's categorical imperative,and then analyzes the three formulas of categorical imperative in detail,especially the relationship between the three formulas of categorical imperative.In order to understand Kant's categorical imperative,and then to understand Kant's moral philosophy.Through the meticulous study of categorical imperative,it extends to Kant's holistic philosophy of morality,and explains the role and significance of Kant's moral philosophy from the perspective of practical philosophy,thus eliminating some misunderstandings that understand Kant's moral philosophy as epistemology,trying to show Kant morality.The fundamental spirit of philosophy lies.
