Nature would have constrained man’s reason from the domain of satisfaction and depended man’s bliss to impulse alone. Rather‚ Kant brings up that reason in the domain of satisfaction really prompts

Aristotle published Metaphysics and Alexander the Great was not content with him doing so. Alexander believed that by publishing the book‚ Aristotle believed that he was uncovering all the secrets to the masses. Alexander thought that knowing the secrets of metaphysical knowledge was what made him unique‚ and is should not have made its way to the light and everyone’s acknowledgement.

In his work "Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals" Kant explores the question of morality and outlines its main principles. In the Part II of his work Kant reveals what morality is‚ as well as what it is not through discussing its origin and defines morality as a type of imperative (a commanding sentence).
