Sorry, didn't Kant write in German? Where would he find use for 
the English word "categorial" in German?

Anyway, his English translators tend to render one of his expressions 
as "the categorical imperative", but even that may just be in the few 
translations I happen to have encountered.

(I'll not address Husserl.)

Cheers, -- Fred

(PS: my mail software, fwiw, flags the categorial quoted above (and also 
the unquoted instance in this very sentence) as misspelled :-) . -- F.)
