Abstract
Discussion of Kant's second Critique, and of his moral theory in general, usually reveals a tacit acceptance of his position that moral considerations are worthy of supreme respect: however disastrous the consequences from any other point of view, the imperative of "pure virtue" remains unique and absolute. Yet the question why morality should carry this pre-eminent authority has been little explored, either in Kant's own terms or independently.
