	Categorical Imperative - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The philosophical concept of a categorical imperative is central to the moral philosophy of Immanuel Kant.
		While it is possible to learn imperatives of skill and prudence that are morally neutral through observation, the categorical imperative that allows one to determine what actually is moral is known a priori and can only be properly determined through reason.
		There is nothing in the categorical imperative to discern that this is not a moral imperative for it is easily something which one would wish to be universally applied, and this universal application would lead to no irrational contradictions.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Categorical Imperative
		Accordingly, the categorical imperative is the moral law enacted by practical reason, obligatory for man, whose sensibility is discordant from the rational order, and demanding obedience from respect for its universality and necessity.
		The merits of Kant's categorical imperative are said to consist in this: that it firmly establishes the reign of reason; elevates the dignity of man by subjecting in him sensibility to reason and making rational nature free, supreme, and independent; overcomes egoism by forbidding action from self-interest; and upholds morality by the highest authority.
		The theory of the categorical imperative is, moreover, inconsistent.

	SOME MODERN1 INTERPRETATIONS OF THE PAULINE INDICATIVE AND IMPERATIVE

	Technological Determinism: The Technological Imperative
		The doctrine of the technological imperative is that because a particular technology means that we can do something (it is technically possible) then this action either ought to (as a moral imperative), must (as an operational requirement) or inevitably will (in time) be taken (see Hasan Ozbekhan 1968).
		The imperative implies that the invention of a new technique demands its adoption and development, and although there are countless examples of 'useless' inventions that no one wants and which are not developed but fade away, the general tendency has been to pursue possible developments for their own sake.
		The technological imperative concerns that self-motivated pursuit and implies that it is somehow inevitable...

	The Community Imperative
		The Community Imperative was written by the Center on Human Policy at Syracuse University, under the leadership of the late Burton Blatt.
		Specifically, the Community Imperative was intended to counter a 1978 memorandum submitted by 10 national experts in hearings in the Wyatt case in Alabama that argued that only a small number of institutional residents could be expected to adjust to community living and that training programs were inappropriate for a substantial number of them.
		The purpose of the Community Imperative was to establish that all human beings, regardless of nature and severity of disability, are inherently valuable, have fundamental rights, and are capable of learning, growth, and development.

	Immanuel Kant and the Categorical Imperative
		So he says that in order for an act to be categorically imperative, it must be thought to be good in itself and in conformity to reason.
		As a categorical imperative, it asks us whether or not we can "universalize" our actions, that is, whether it would be the case that others would act in accordance with the same rule in a similar circumstance.
		With the categorical imperative becomes the guiding principle of morality, it becomes the impetus for determining whether an act is moral or not.

	The Constitutional Imperative in Reform of the Monetary and Banking Systems of the United States (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Edwin Vieira, Jr., presented the original version of The Constitutional Imperative in Reform of the Monetary and Banking Systems of the United States to the Ludwig von Mises Institute's Seminar Series in Public Policy, at the Heritage Foundation's Lehrman Auditorium, Washington, D.C., on 8 December 1988.
		For, as Dr. Vieira points out, the leading authorities on economic reform of these systems recognize that the key to correction of contemporary problems is the enforcement of a "monetary constitution" to confine the discretion of government within narrow limits.
		To a very great degree still, the constitutional imperative in reform of America's monetary and banking arrangements remains largely unappreciated and certainly unarticulated.

		The Community Imperative is a general statement of values and principles regarding the right of all persons with disabilities to "community living." I think it is fairly evident that "community living" precludes public (variously referred to as state "hospitals," "developmental centers," "training centers," or schools") or private (e.g., nursing homes) institutions.
		The Community Imperative was the idea and inspiration of the late Burt Blatt, the founder of the Center on Human Policy and later President of the American Association on Mental Retardation--AAMR (which last year republished selections from Burt's many books and writings).
		The Community Imperative expresses the beliefs that all human beings are inherently valuable, can grow and develop, and deserve to be part of our community and society.
