| Description | The text deals with the applicability of the categorical imperative in contexts that are consi-dered morally indifferent. When someone opportunistically avoids inferring a conclusion because the conclusion doesn't please them, it's a moral rather than a logical fault. Such a moral fault can be well explained by the categorical imperative. Kelsen considered the vali-dity of a norm as its bindingness. But his theory allows the addressees of norms a similar logical trick to avoid inferring their legal obligation. The use of this trick again is not a logi-cal but a moral fault. This moral fault can also be explained by the categorical imperative. But the use of the services of the categorical imperative challenges Kelsen's legal positivism. |
