But what here interests us more, is to know: How such a synthetic practical proposition a priori is possible and why it is necessary, is a problem that cannot be resolved within the bounds of the metaphysics of morals, nor have we asserted its truth here, 1 18 IV 5 10 15 Groundwork of the Metaphysics ofMorals seine Wahrheit hier nicht behauptet, vielweniger vorgegeben, einen Beweis derselben in unserer Gewalt zu haben. Wir zeigten nur durch Entwickelung des einmal allgemein im Schwange gehenden Begriffs der Sittlichkeit: BA Second Section 1 19 much less pretended that it is within our control to give a proof.

By unravelling the concept of morality generally in vogue, we showed only: Whoever takes morality to be something, and not a chimerical idea without truth, must therefore also concede its principle stated above. This section, just like the first, was thus merely analytic. The explication of freedom stated above is negative and therefore unfruitful for gaining insight into its essence; but there flows from it a positive concept of freedom, which is so much the richer and more fruitful.

Natural necessity was a heteronomy of efficient causes; for every effect was possible only according to the law that something else determines the efficient cause to causality; what else, then, can freedom of the will IV 5 10 15 20 25 Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals heit des Willens sonst seyn, als Autonomie, d. Dies ist aber gerade die Formel des categorischen Imperativs und das Prindp der Sittlichkeit: Indessen ist das letztere doch imme r ein synthetischer Satz: Thus if freedom of the will is presupposed, morality along with its principle foIlows from it, by me re analysis of its concept.

The positive concept of freedom provides this third thing, which cannot, as in the case of physical causes, be the nature of the world of sense in the concept of which the concepts of something as the cause, in relation to something else as the effect, come together.

Denn in einem solchen Wesen denken wir uns eine Vernunft, die practisch ist, d. BA 1 0 1 Third Section human nature though this i s actually absolutely impossible and can solely be established a priori , but one must prove it as belonging to the activity of rational beings endowed with a will as such.

For in such a being we conceive a reason that is practical, L e. For even if this latter point is left unsettled, the same laws that would bind a being that was actuaIly free yet hold for a being that cannot act otherwise than under the idea of its own freedom. Here we can thus liberate ourselves from the burden that weighs upon theory. B ut there also flowed from the presupposition of these ideas the consciousness of a law for acting: B ut why, then, ought I to subj ect mys elf to this principle, and do so as a rational being as such, and hence thereby also all other beings endowed with reason?

There appears at this point, one must freely admit it, a kind of circle from which, as it seems, there is no escape. Yet there still remains for u s one way out, namely t o try: Once this difference has been noticed maybe merely because of the dissirnilarity noted between representations that are given to us from elsewhere, and in which we are passive, from those that we produce solely from ourselves, and in which we prove our activity , it follows of itself that one must concede and assume behind the appearances something else that is not appearance, namely the things in themselves; even if - since they can never become known to us, but only ever how they affect us - we of ourselves rest content with being unable to get any eioser to them or ever to know what they are in themselves.

This must yield a distinction, however rough, of a world of sense from the world of understanding, the first of which can be very dissimilar according to the dissirnilar sensibility of many kinds of observers of the world, whereas the second, which is its foundation, always remains the same. A human being cannot even - according to the acquaintance he has with himself by inner sensation - presume to cognize how he himself is in himself. Now, a human being actuaBy does find in himself a capacity by which he is distinguished from aB other things, even from himself, in so far as he is affected by objects, and that is reason.

On account of this a rational being must view itself, as an intelligence thus not from the side of its lower powers , as belonging not to the world of sense, but to that of understanding; and hence it has two standpoints from which it can consider itself, and recognize laws for the use of its powers, and consequently for aB its actions: As a rational being, hence as one that belongs to the intelligible world, a human being can never think of the causality of his own will otherwise than under the idea of freedom; for independence from the determining causes of the world of sense such as reason must always ascribe to itself is freedom.

How is a categorical imperative possible? As a mere member of the world of understanding all my actions would therefore conform perfectly with the prindple of autonomy of the pure will; as a mere piece of the world of sense they would have to be taken to conform entirely with the natural law of desires and inclinations, and hence with the heteronomy of nature. The first would rest on the supreme prindple of morality, the second on that of happiness.

Diese bessere PerBA l l l-l l 3 Third Section 1 37 though on the other side as a being belonging to the world of sense, as still subject to the law of the former - Le. The practical use of common human reason confirms the correctness of this deduction. But this better l 38 Groundwork oi the Metaphysics oiMorals 5 son glaubt er aber zu seyn, wenn er sich in den Standpunct eines Gliedes der Verstandeswelt versetzt, dazu die Idee der Freyheit d. Das moralische Sollen ist also eigenes nothwendiges Wollen als Gliedes einer intelligibelen Welt, und wird nur so fern von ihm als Sollen gedacht, als er sich zugleich wie ein Glied der Sinnenwelt betrachtet.

On the extreme boundary of all practical philosophy All human beings think of themselves as having a will that is free. From this stern all judgements about actions such that they ought to have been done even if they were not done. But this concept of a nature is confirmed by experience and unavoidably must itself be presupposed if experience - Le. That is why freedom is only an idea of reason, the obj ective reality of which is in itself doubtful, whereas nature is a concept of the understanding that proves, and must necessarily prove, its reality in examples of experience.

It must therefore presuppose: F o r i f even the thought of freedom contradicts itself, or nature, which is equally necessary, it would have to be given up altogether in favour of natural necessity. But it is impossible to steer clear of this contradiction if the subj ect who deems himself free were to think of himself in the same sense, or in just the same relation when he calls himself free, as when he takes himself to be subject to the law of nature with respect to the same action. That is why it is an indispensable task of speculative philosophy: But the legitimate claim even of common human reason to freedom of the will is founded on the consdousness and the granted presupposition of the independence of reason from merely subjectively determining causes, wbich together one and all constitute what merely belongs to sensation, and hence under the general label of sensibility.

Now, he soon becomes aware that both can, and indeed even must, take place at the same time. For that a thing in the appearance belonging to the world of sense is subj ect to certain laws from wbich just the same as a thing or a being in itselfis independent, contains not the least contradiction; however, that he must represent and think of himself in tbis twofold way rests, as regards the first on consdousness of himself as an object affected through the senses, as regards the second on the consdousness of himself as an intelligence, i.

By thinking itself into a world of understanding practical reason does not at all overstep its boundaries; but it would if it wanted to look or sense itself into it. The former is only a negative thought, with regard to the world of sense, which gives reason no laws in determining the will, and is positive only in this one point: But if it were to fetch in addition an object of the will, Le.

The concept of a world of understanding is thus only a standpoint that reason sees itself necessitated to take outside appearances, in order to think of itself as practical, and this would not be possible if the influences of sensibility were determining for a human being, and yet it is necessary in so far as he is not to be denied consciousness of hirnself, as an intelligence, and hence as a rational cause active through reason, L e.

Sie gilt nur als nothwendige Voraussetzung der Vernunft in einem Wesen, das sich eines Willens, d. BA 1 22 Third Seetion 1 47 pure reason can be practical, which would be one and the same task entirely as to explain how freedom is possible. For we can explain nothing but what we can trace back to laws whose object can be given in some possible experience. It holds only as a necessary presupposition of reason in a being that believes itself to be conscious of a will, Le. But where determination by laws of nature ceases, there all explanation ceases as weIl, and nothing is left but defence, Le.

That is why it is said only of a rational being that it takes an interest in something; nonrational creatures feel only sensuous impulses. Ein solches Interesse ist allein rein. BA 1 1 2 3 Third Section 1 49 that a human being could take in moral Iaws; and even so, he actually does take an interest in them, the foundation of which in us we call moral feeling, which some have falsely proclaimed the standard of our moral j udging, whereas it must rather be viewed as the subjective effect that the law exercises on the will, for which reason alone supplies the obj ective grounds.

But it is quite impossible to understand, L e. S uch an interest alone is pure. B ut if it can determine the will only by means of another obj ect of desire, or on the presupposition of a special feeling of the subj ect, then reason takes only a mediate interest in the action; and since reason aB by itself, without experience, can detect neither obj ects of the will nor a special feeling lying at its foundation, this latter interest would only be empirical and not a pure rational interest.

The logical interest of reason to advance its insights is never immediate, but presupposes purposes of its use. Denn da verlasse ich den philoBA 1 2 3- 1 2 5 Third Section a feeling lying at its foundation, in which it could never be morally legislating , but the law interests because it is valid for us as human beings, since it arose from our will as an intelligence, hence from our actual self; but what belongs to mere appearance is necessarily subordinated by reason to the constitution of the thing in itself Thus the question: But on the presupposition of the freedom of the will of an intelligence, its autonomy - as the formal condition under which alone it can be determined - is a necessary consequence.

But any human reason is entirely unable to explain how pure reason, without other incentives that might be taken from somewhere else, can by itself be practical, L e. It is j ust the same as if I sought to fathom how freedom itself as the causality of a will is possible. Von der reinen Vernunft, die dieses Ideal denkt, bleibt nach Absonderung aller Materie, d. After separating off aB matter, i. BA 1 Third Section 1 55 carefully conduct ourselves according to maxims of freedom as if they were laws of nature.

Concluding Remark The speculative use of reason, with regard to nature, leads to the absolute necessity of some supreme cause ofthe world; the practical use of reason, with respect to freedom, also leads to an absolute necessity, but only oflaws of actions of a rational being, as such. Now, it is an essential principle of all use of our reason to pursue its cognition up to being conscious of its necessity for without it it would not be cognition of reason.

But it is an equally essential limitation of precisely the same reason that it can see neither the necessity of what exists, or what happens, nor of what ought to happen, unless a condition under which it exists, or happens, or ought to happen, is available as its foundation. In this way, however, by constant enquiry after the condition, the satisfaction of reason is just postponed further and further. And thus we do not indeed comprehend the practical unconditional necessity of the moral imperative, yet we do comprehend its incomprehensibility, and this is all that can reasonably be required of a philosophy that in its principles strives up to the boundary of human reason.

Editorial notes Emendations of the 1 text B IV Wesen, bewiesen A dasselbe] B; ihn A treibt, denn. The transitive use of bestimmen with both a dative and an accusative object is difficult to translate. This is an approximation; 'ihre' refers to the laws of nature and of the will respectively.

Like most translators, Gregor uses 'morals' for Moral, but also - as in the title of the book - for Sitten people's mores , Le. Neither 'ethics' nor 'moral philosophy' is available IV The action's taking place is a result of the agent's doing it, which is expressed differently in different languages. Any translation other than 'immoral' or 'morally inappropriate' would be too weak.

Also, as Kant rej ects moral indifferents at this most basic level, any ground that is not moral is actually immoral because it ought to be. The transitive form is used in juridical contexts see IV 42 3. Unlike 'investigation' Abbott or 'search' Gregor, Wood , the former is a success term: Festsetzung has connotations of making determinate and secure - cf. In other words, the Groundwork reveals to us what the principle of morality says, and that it is authoritative.

Muth is first mentioned at IV 3 9 3. The Latin expression captures the meaning of the German schlechthin more accurately than the conventional 'absolute' or 'absolutely', which has been retained for both schlechterdings and absolut. Vorsatz, 'intention', and the 'intended purpose' vorgesetzte Absicht at IV 4 1 7. According to Adelung, vorsetzen describes a firm intention or resolve, as opposed to the weaker sense of 'planning' implied by vornehmen. When Kant says that something ist Pflicht, he is not saying that there is 'a' specific duty to do something, but simply that it is obligatory that one has to do it.

The conventional translation is misleading because it suggests that what has to be done is prescribed by some specific type of duty; but beneficence at IV 3 9 8. The dause 'but in. That it is the value of an action Cit' that does not depend on the realization of the obj ect is dearer in first edition.

Kantian 'incentives' are motivating desires that propel the agent forward if he or she so decides. Paton's 'reverence' is in some ways a more natural word for a positive motivating moral force like Kantian Achtung, but 'respect' is now generally used in discussions of Kantian ethics. It has the additional advantage of resonating with readers beyond the small world of Kant scholarship.

Another antiquated expression, but cf. IV 40 1 fn. Kant is not j ust saying that actions must conform with universal laws but rather that they must universally conform with law, and that it is this conformity as such that should serve the will as its principle. Here, as so often, it is not entirely obvious whether allgemein means 'general' or 'universal' cf. On the one hand, it is doubtful whether universal maxims - as opposed to merely general maxims, which serve a purpose, by and large - can be adopted on prudential grounds.

On the other hand, adoption 1 66 Editorial notes of moral maxims on non-moral grounds is not necessarily implied by what Kant is saying: The literal and original meaning is 'to call good'. At IV 43 5. An expression popularized by Luther's translation of the Bible. This translation harks back to the Authorized Version, cf. Later editors substitute 'intent' for 'imagination'. Editorial notes 1 67 was immer hervorsticht] 'which is always flashing forth', like a flame Stichflamme. See also abgewitzt at IV Dreams, 1 1 3 2 3. Again, the translation echoes the Authorized Version.

However, note that Kant is not talking ab out the process of establishing concepts or about the outcome of such a process but about the fact that these concepts are valid a priorL IV The first edition has die Wahrheit, which makes no sense. It is possible that Kant's original manuscript read die Wahl, 'the choice', and that the initial mistake is due to the copyist or the compositor. IV 41 1 fn.

Lehren] 'doctrines', or 'teachings' of virtue. In German, it is immediately clear that this note is about moral education. The change is hardly compelling. Lauter in this sense is not to be confused with the invariant adjective at IV A good example of how a generalization, expressed in German by the use of the definite article der, is best translated by using the indefinite article in English; cf.

I n Kant's German, there are two words for 'thing': A definition of obj ective ends as a certain kind of thing at IV However, 'thing' is still used to translate the cognate Ding elsewhere, and Ding an sich remains a 'thing in itself'. Similarly, in the present passage he says that the principle will need to be specified further in 'moral science proper', as opposed to the foundational Groundwork.

The moralized term 'self-murder' thus seems preferable to 'suicide' at this point. However, Kant uses the purely descriptive expression 'taking one's life' at IV Here, and in the sequel, this literal translation replaces Gregor's IV It is also rather too dose to the basic formulation of the categorical imperative at IV 42 1. As Gregor notes, selbstgesetzgebend can be taken to refer to legislation by the self as weIl as legislation to the self. In her translation, the former is implied but the emphasis dearly rests on the latter. However, Kant's argument in general, and IV The word - which is rare in Kant - is used in this way in a late Reflection, where principles that are selbstgesetzgebend are contrasted with those that merely manage natural influences cf.

The present translation preserves the ambiguity and thus leaves the interpretative question open as does Paton's 'making a law for itself'. It seems that, when he felt the need, he used selbstgesetzgebend instead. This i s a tricky word, which Kant uses only once, at this point in the Groundwork. Vorzug carries overtones of excellence, dignity and supremacy as the grounds of rational preference; cf. The lauer with its more republican connotations would be the perfect choice if it were not for Reich der Natur at IV fn.

Launen] 'humour'; not 'moods', as modern readers expect. Editorial notes the above note on IV Here, Anschlag denotes an estimate or quotation that takes into account all that is relevant; but cf. Kant slips back into using the masculine pronoun associated with a human being der Mensch rather than the neuter of a rational being das Wesen. This is not uncommon, see e. There is no need to change the text.

One of the variants the third of the formulatations mentioned on this page contains within it the other two the first and the second. But this reading i s not mied out by the translation given here. With the exception of Abbott's original translation 'general' , all English version consulted, including Mary Gregor's, have 'universal'; cf.

The ambiguous pronouns at IV 4 3 8. For once, Zweck - usually translated 'end' - is used in the original sense of 'target'. Lenkung suggests an external power in charge of the activities of reason. This very literal translation preserves the ambiguity of the original. It seems likely that Kant is talking about the way maxims must be 'adopted' Paton, Gregor, Ellington or 'chosen' Beck, Zweig , which is clearly the sense when he talks about 'taking' nehmen maxims elsewhere, e.

Note also that the German sentence is somewhat incomplete. It is an adverb of gut, Le. Consequently, Kant is not saying, as Gregor and other translators would have it, that the scoundrel cannot change his ways. For the very same combination of words see IV 40 5. The first simply reads 'freedom from'.

The one meaning or the other is inevitably lost in translation.

Da sie nicht mehr als Warp 3,2 erreichen konnten, so der Captain weiter, waren sie nicht in der Lage, in Sensorreichweite zu gelangen. Er setzt sich an einen freien Tisch und sieht sich um. Nachdem auch sie sich gesetzt hat, fragt Jake die junge Frau, woher sie stammt. Sie entgegnet, dass sie aus Tycho City kommt. Jake nimmt das zum Anlass, sie einen Lunar Schooner zu nennen. Ihrer Erfahrung nach wird der Ausdruck nur auf der Erde benutzt. Nun will Jake wissen, wie es auf dem Mond ist.

Dorian ist verwundert und fragt, ob er noch nie auf dort war, obwohl er von der Erde stammt. Darauf entgegnet der Junge, dass er nie die Gelegenheit dazu hatte. Das bringt Erinnerungen in der jungen Frau hoch. Dann erinnert sie Jake daran, dass die Sonne auf dem Mond nur einmal im Monat aufgeht.

Dann beginnt sie zu weinen. Nachdem Nog seine Arbeiten im Maschinenraum beendet hat, will Watters von ihm wissen, was genau er getan hat, um die Probleme des Schiffes zu beheben. Farris ist nicht begeistert von dem Vorgehen und fragt, ob ihm bewusst ist, dass er damit etwa 50 Sicherheitsbestimmungen verletzt hat. Der entgegnet, dass er alles versuchen will, nachdem er sich sieben Monate mit Warp 3,2 dahingeschleppt hatte. Dann fordert er Nog auf, sie auf Warp 4 zu bringen.

Der Captain geht zu einem Schrank und Collins fragt ihn, ob sie ihm helfen kann. Watters holt ein Medikament heraus und verneint die Frage der jungen Frau. Dann fragt er, ob sie ein Problem hat. Auch das verneint die junge Frau. Der junge Mann versteht nun, was das Problem ist. Jake versucht sich zu verteidigen und entgegnet, dass er nur fragte, woher Collins stammt. Nun schaltet sich Watters ein und erinnert Sisko daran, dass er Reporter ist und sein Job darin besteht, zu beobachten, wie sich Dinge entwickeln und nicht daran teilzunehmen. Der Captain ist sich sicher, dass sie vom Schicksal dazu auserkoren sind, eine besondere Leistung zu vollbringen.

Dann fordert er Sisko auf, nicht selbst ein Teil der Geschichte zu werden. Doch die junge Frau hat noch weitere Bedenken und will wissen, was mit Nog ist. Watters bejaht das und will wissen, weshalb sie fragt. Sie erinnert ihn daran, dass er in letzter Zeit nicht viel schlief. Doch der Captain entgegnet, dass das keiner von ihnen tat.

Um sich auf den Beinen zu halten, nimmt er erneut Medikamente ein. Jake will wissen, wo der Ferengi gesteckt hat, woraufhin der erwidert, dass er im Maschinenraum war. Nun will Sisko wissen, was es mit dem Abzeichen auf sich hat, woraufhin Nog entgegnet, dass dies sein Red-Squad-Abzeichen ist. Doch der Ferengi sieht darin kein Problem, da ihm klar ist, dass der Captain gewohnt ist, schnelle Entscheidungen zu treffen.

Sie entgegnet, dass sie das Kampfschiff gefunden haben. Jake sieht sich mittlerweile um. Sofort gibt der Captain den Befehl, Position und Entfernung beizubehalten, sowie die Geschwindigkeit anzupassen. Dann weist Watters Farris an, eine Sonde der Klasse 3 vorzubereiten. Die junge Frau macht sich sofort an die Arbeit.

Nun will Jake von Nog wissen, was nun passiert, woraufhin der entgegnet, dass sie eine Sonde starten werden, um das Kampfschiff zu untersuchen, um zu verhindern, dass die Valiant von den Sensoren des Schiffes registriert wird. Doch das beruhigt Jake nicht und er fragt, was passiert, wenn sie die Sonde bemerken.

Seiner Ansicht nach besteht fast keine Chance sie zu entdecken. Doch das beruhigt Sisko in keiner Weise. Auch Jake Sisko ist unter den Anwesenden. Als der Captain zusammen mit Farris den Raum betritt, fordert sie Shepard auf, aufzustehen. Watters erlaubt der Mannschaft, bequem zu stehen. Die junge Frau berichtet, dass sie eine Schwachstelle in der Konstruktion ihres Antimateriespeichersystems fanden. Watters erwartet, dass das gesamte Antimateriespeichersystem daraufhin auseinanderfliegen wird.

Dies hat zur Folge, so Nog, dass das Ziel nur manuell zu erfassen ist. Ein besorgtes Raunen geht durch den Raum. Nun meldet sich Jake zu Wort. Farris will ihm die Mitsprache untersagen, doch Watters gibt ihm das Wort. Seiner Meinung nach ist er einer der besten Gefechtsoffiziere der Flotte. Sofort beginnen alle Mitglieder der Mannschaft, Red Squad auszurufen. Sie wiederholen den Ausspruch. Doch der Ferengi ist anderer Ansicht. Nog kann das nicht glauben und fragt, woher Jake diese Information hat.

Nun entgegnet der Ferengi, dass Jake ein Verbot erhielt, mit Collins zu sprechen. Doch der entgegnet, dass es seiner Ansicht nach kein Verbrechen ist, sich mit jemandem zu unterhalten. Im Maschinenraum regt sich Jake auf, dass Nog Watters alles abkauft, was er ihm auftischt. Doch der Ferengi sieht das anders und glaubt, dass der Captain sie lediglich an ihre Pflicht erinnert.

Nun wird es Nog zu viel. Er glaubt, dass Jake das nicht verstehen kann, da er niemals eine Sternenflottenuniform getragen hat. Nun will Nog, dass Jake geht. Der entgegnet, dass er seinen Freund nicht wiedererkennt. Jeder konzentriert sich auf seine Aufgaben und die Crew geht einander zur Hand.

Waffen werden verteilt und alle Systeme auf den bevorstehenden Angriff vorbereitet. Als die Vorbereitungen abgeschlossen sind, berichtet Farris dem Captain, dass alle Decks bereit sind. Dann beendet er seine Ansprache. Nach der Ansprache fordert er Nog auf, sie auf Warp 6 zu bringen. Die Valiant versucht das Schiff einzuholen. Als sie in deren Sensorreichweite sind, berichtet Farris, dass sie entdeckt wurden und das Schlachtschiff unter Warp gegangen ist. Sofort fordert der Captain den Steuermann auf, auch auf Impulsgeschwindigkeit zu gehen.

Doch Watters bleibt entschlossen. Er fordert, einen Kurs entlang der Schiffsaufbauten zu setzen, um ganz nahe an dem Schiff vorbei zu fliegen. Damit will er verhindern, dass man sie erfassen kann. Dann fordert er, die Schilde zu laden und die Phaser vorzubereiten. Er gibt den Befehl auf alle Ziele zu feuern, die sich beim Vorbeiflug anbieten. Der Ferengi entgegnet, dass er bereit ist. Damit beginnt der Angriff. Schnell fliegt die Valiant in Richtung des Kampfschiffes.

I think the basket is more valuable. Suppose that I know further that both objects do not have the same value. But contrary to what I thought, in reality the bowl is the more valuable object. Since I know that the more valuable object is the more valuable object, according to Chisholm's explanation of the opinion de re both of the bowl and of the basket, I must think that this object is the more valuable. But then we would not be able to explain why the basket and not the bowl should be more valuable. Heidelberger is right about my earlier theory, but my present one solves the problem: I The subject perceives the basket and thinks that it is not only the basket but also the more valuable object.

And the same also goes for two thoughts by Chisholm at two different times. I can best show in my criticism HintikkaVsChisholm that it has different dimensions: Various criteria for intentionality by Chisholm turn out to be criteria for different dimensions of intentionality.

This is not a criterion of intentionality for him, because the concept of necessity also violates the non-extensionality. This is shown by the failure of the following implications: Suppose also that I have no beliefs about what kind of other politicians there are, except the ones that I know. In particular, there is no set of politicians of which I believe that they exhaust the class of politicians. No, it does not follow. The question of what I do believe about them does not arise.
