Title: "COMMANDS, IMPERATIVES AND UNCONDITIONAL CONCERN"

Kant sees commands of reason where the Bible saw commands of God. Henry Bugbee, in The Inward Morning, speaks of the imperativeness flowing in our lives. The idea is to acknowledge the experience of imperativeness, but not see it as grounded in a quasi-logical principle. What's it like to experience imperativeness? Is that part of your own moral life? And one wants to ask (should we ask?): if not grounded by reason, or God, what then grounds the imperativeness itself?
