The categorical imperative is the philosophical concept central to the moral philosophy of Immanuel Kant and to modern deontological ethics.

Kant thought that human beings occupy a special place in creation. He also believed that morality can be summed up in one ultimate principle, from which all duties and obligations are derived. It is best known in its first formulation:

Act only according to that maxim by which you can at the same time will that it would become a universal law.
