This paper titled: “Kant’s Categorical Imperative and Aquinas’ Natural Law Theory: A Critical and Comparative Analysis”, is an attempt towards a better understanding of the compatibility or otherwise, that may exist between the works of the two great minds in the history of philosophy-Thomas Aquinas and Immanuel Kant. The paper aims at a critical comparison of the basic premises of Kant’s and Aquinas’s ethical philosophy, intending to find similarities and dissimilarities as well as compatibility or incompatibility between them. This paper adopts a conceptual clarification of our discourse and engages in an analytic, critical exposition, and appraisal of the subject matters.
