The Kingdom of Ends is a hypothetical state of existence that is derived from Kant's categorical imperative. A Kingdom of Ends is composed entirely of rational beings, whom Kant defines as those capable of moral deliberation (though his definition expands in other areas) who must choose to act by laws that imply an absolute necessity. Though the term is usually translated as 'Kingdom of Ends', the German word Reich is perhaps more appropriately translated as 'realm'. This systematic whole is the Kingdom of Ends. People can only belong to the Kingdom of Ends when they become subject to these universal laws. Morality, therefore, is acting out of reverence for all universal laws which make the Kingdom of Ends possible.
