Abstract: What is conditional obligation and under what circumstances may an absolute obligation be detached from a conditional obligation? These questions have recently been much discussed. I think that a very plausible answer has been given to the first question but that the second question has not yet received a satisfactory answer. In this paper I shall attempt to remedy this deficiency, at least to some extent, by noting the intimate relation between conditional obligation and what I shall call subsidiary absolute obligation.
