In the kingdom of ends, what can be replaced by an equivalent has value; what is above all value and admits no equivalent has dignity
Drawn from what Immanuel Kant said
What Immanuel Kant actually said
- Immanuel Kant German philosopher (1724 to 1804), born in Königsberg
In the kingdom of ends everything has either value or dignity. Whatever has a value can be replaced by something else which is equivalent; whatever, on the other hand, is above all value, and therefore admits of no equivalent, has a dignity.
