Moral Imperative The  A   Is Strongly Felt Principle Compels

Front moral imperative
Back moral imperative is a strongly-felt principle that compels that person to act.


It is a kind of categorical imperative, as defined by Immanuel Kant. Kant took the imperative to be a dictate of pure reason, in its practical aspect. Not following the moral law was seen to be self-defeating and thus contrary to reason.
