Summary Immanuel Kant - “The moral law” First‚ Kant presupposes that there is a moral law. That is‚ there exists some basis for morality beyond subjective description of it. He then begins with a series of identifications to answer how the moral law possibly gives a pure abstract form of a moral law that will ask if it is really moral.
