Abstract

Kant turned the normal situation of moral philosophy upside down, and after he denied the impossibility of metaphysics, he returned and gave metaphysics a legitimacy that nothing but to preserve morals and their meanings with some value. To build his moral system, he stressed the importance of assuming the existence of God as a central concept in the moral system. If the pure reason is unable to prove its existence, the practical mind insists on its existence to save morals
