I enjoy the way in which you teach Kant's theory to be applicable and not just a retaining of knowledge. I think because you used real-life examples, I had an easier understanding of the concept of the political power of the Categorical Imperative, or as you define as "not just the what, but the why." I gathered that morality, in the function provided by Kant, is a tool used by a government to produce a society that acts according to what the power structure deem just or unjust (ethics). It is a tool in that, If you can make a virtue seem universal, others will feel peer pressure to conform to the same virtue (pusher power).

Now I understand more about this theory thank you very much. I like when you called it a peer pressure theory cause it summed everything up.

Nicely explained. Examples are the best way to understand these complex philosophical writings.

[nakeetacharles]

Can you add videos on the 2nd and 3rd formulation as well? Your explanation is the clearest I have found

Professor Miller, I loved the explanation. It was so thorough, and I remember the examples of the maximum acceleration & $50 ! Your classes will always be my first choice, but your videos are just as good. I think hearing about the Categorical Imperative in this way helped me so much more ! Great study tool ! - Kai Lee
