Abstract: \;

\n

My overall project is to argue that in ethics\, as in epistemology\, Kant was a nativist who saw experience as awakening innate capacities that provide the basic structures that enable humans to understand the natural and social worlds. In this paper\, I argue that the three formulae of the highest law of morality are not the products of convention\, but of human predispositions\, \;&lsquo\;Anlagen.&rsquo\; I do so \;by pursuing two questions about the formulae of the moral law: How is each formula derived from the concept of a categorical imperative? What is the argument for the truth of each formula?
