Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!


hypothetical imperatives have the form of If...then
categorical imperatives do not

For example:
hypothetical imperative: If you want to get there quickly, you ought not to walk but to take taxi.
categorical imperative: you should not walk. you ought to take a taxi.
Is "you should love your neighbor as yourself" from the Bible a categorical imperative?

Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
