Document Summary
Fln (variation of ful) the formula of the law of nature: act as if the maxim of. Fre (variation of fa) the formula of the realm of ends: act in accordance with the maxims of a member giving universal laws for a merely possible kingdom of ends (groundwork, 46). Due to copernican revolution (scientific) there is no teleological stuff anymore. There is no purpose to anything (like aristotle wanted) Pure philosophy: born out of reason (a priori) A priori: necessary laws, exceptionless (like laws of science or laws of defintions something true in itself) Analytic a priori: true by definition do not tell us anything about the world (bachelors are unmarried men doesn"t tell us if any exist in the world or not) Synthetic a priori: connect analytical to real world like physics (the speed of light = c this connects a concept to the real world) **this is how moral law ought to be.
