Unfolds the internal connection between Heidegger's ontology of human existence and Kant's attempt to establish an ethic of obligation. Shows that the faculty Kant identified for applying a rule in a specific case, namely, the transcendental imagination, is the basis for moral judgments. This conclusion substantiates Heidegger's central thesis in Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics that the imagination is the ultimate root of human reason.
