As morals, these imperatives are binding on everyone.

Kant defines categorical imperatives as commands or moral laws all persons must follow, regardless of their desires or extenuating circumstances. As outlined in the video above, Kant is most famous for his ideas on a person's unconditional moral obligation, known as the categorical imperative. He is best known for his philosophical works, Critique of Pure Reason and The Metaphysics of Morals, among others.

The idea of categorical imperatives was first introduced by Immanuel Kant, a philosopher from the 1700s.
