The categorical imperative

שו"תThe categorical imperative
מיכי צוות שאל לפני 4 שנים

I received the following question:
Regarding Kant's categorical imperative
Let's grind it out without limit. The difficulty I understand here is what will force me to listen to a strange order that my actions have no effect.
So if they make excuses that God enacted the decree, then that's fine.
But in principle, it can be understood more simply as everyone understands that they are obligated to a society without which they would not be alive.
So it's up to the company to impose such an order on him because the only way things will change is this way.
I suppose I'm not telling the Rabbi anything, I'm just asking if what I'm saying is true.

Even if we assume that society imposes it on you, the question is what obliges you to comply with what society wants you to comply with? At the foundation of every norm must be a value, that is, a non-factual basis. The fact that society imposes something on you is a fact, and therefore it does not mean that you have an obligation. So at most you have shifted the discussion from the question of why to obey the categorical imperative to a discussion of why to obey society.
