hypothetical imperative

名詞

(philosophy) A formula that tells one how to act in order to achieve a specific goal, without reflecting on the value of the goal itself. Such an imperative is conditional, i.e., it would only motivate one who already shares the end goal in question.

Kant argued that a hypothetical imperative tells an agent what to do to achieve a particular end without evaluating whether that end is worth pursuing.
