Kant held the moral law to be an objective imperative, an entity in
its own right. It carries with it prescriptive force, in parallel
to other principles of pure reason, like those of logic and
mathematics. Objective imperatives therefore do not derive their
authority from any other source, such as common consensus or the
will of God. In Objective Imperatives, Ralph C. S. Walker seeks to
show that this is a highly defensible view: Kant's Categorical
Imperative, properly understood, is broadly right. The key to it is
rationality, and not universality, which functions only as an
approximate test. Often, Kant sets the matter out badly, and most
of the common objections to him can be shown to be due to
misunderstandings. A morality that gives us an objective imperative
does appear incompatible with the determinism to which Kant commits
himself, but Walker argues that this appearance is misleading.
