What kind of relation to God is appropriate to the command to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind? If, as is plausible, what is commanded can be intended, what is intended is action, and love is not an action or under direct positive voluntary control, how can love be commanded? If love really is impossible to achieve at will and cannot be directly commanded, what kinds of acts are appropriate to carrying out the two commandments? This question is important not only theologically (and not only for Christianity), but also for understanding moral obligation in general. With that in mind, Kant’s categorical imperative, in its Formula of Humanity version—requiring us to treat persons as ends in themselves and never merely as means—will be briefly examined. Join us 5 minutes prior to the beginning of the session!
