Actividad Bilingüismo: Kant´s axe

1. 1. The categorical imperative is an eminently rational construct, which tries to treat humanity (understood as a quality) as an end and not as a means to achieve something. However, these are difficult imperatives to see in real life in this sense, since we are also very subject to our wishes and guide our actions based on them.

2. 2. The categorical imperative does not have to have an additive meaning, but it can also be restrictive. That is, it is not just about us doing something, but it can also be based on not doing it or not doing it. For example, most people do not steal or harm others, considering such action something negative per se.

3. 3. A categorical imperative is understood to be the act or proposal that is carried out because it is considered necessary, without there being any other reason to be carried out than said consideration. They would be the constructions that are made in the form of a "must", without being conditioned by any other consideration, and they would be universal and applicable at any time or situation. The imperative is an end in itself and not a means to achieve a certain result.
