- Feb 6, 2013The personal influences on Kant are neither here nor there where philosophical argument is concerned, or ad hominems would count.Subjective necessity has a specific meaning in critical philosophy: it refers to reflective judgment, the subject specifically of the third Critique. We can't prove God's existence, but can show why it provides a crucial moral appendage to a reason that demands that what we ought to do, we should see as being possible to accomplish, when all the facts seem otherwise. Reflective judgement, which has no power to guarantee such a result, still allows us to count as rational in the expectation.Omar

Kant's philosophical God is born out of subjective necessity. Besides that are Kant's personal beliefs, where I see himas being personally influenced by his early Lutheran Pietism. - << Previous post in topic Next post in topic >>
