Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals (1785) is Immanuel Kant's foundational ethical work, introducing the categorical imperative: act only on the maxim that could, at the same time, be willed a universal law. The text establishes the supreme principle of morality through analysis of ordinary moral concepts, arguing that moral worth derives from duty rather than from consequences or inclination.
