Add to ORKGI will consider Kant\u27s claim that the categorical imperative (CI) is a synthetic a priori proposition. We know from the first Critique that such propositions are likely to be very important, but also difficult to justify. Kant says exactly the same things about the CI in the Grundlegung: the CI is difficult to justify2, but if we do not succeed in justifying it, morality may be a mere phantom of the brain.\u27,3 Though little has been written on this topic, a correct understanding of this claim is important to understanding Kant\u27s views
