    Kant discusses two types of imperatives: hypothetical and categorical. Hypothetical imperatives are conditional and depend on our wishes or wants, suggesting we do something if we want to achieve a particular end. Categorical imperatives are unconditional and apply to all rational beings, stemming from duty and respect for moral law. Kant believes the categorical imperative, which he refers to as the will, is the only non-problematic imperative and focuses on doing our duty for its own sake rather than achieving some other end like happiness.
