- Three Postulates of Practical reason according to Kant
- We are free beings
- Connected to Kant's view that we are fully rational beings capable of knowing absolutely what our duty is.
- When we make a moral decision, we are acknowledging our freedom.
- We are immortal
- God exists
- Summum bonum ought to be achieved in life however that is not always the case as good things happen to bad people and horrid to the virtuous.
- Summum bonum - 'Highest good'
- Because Summum bonum ought to be achieved, it can be achieved. If not achievable in this life then the next, meaning we need immortality.
- If the Summum bonum exists in the next life , then there must be someone to provide it- this person is God.
- Summum bonum ought to be achieved in life however that is not always the case as good things happen to bad people and horrid to the virtuous.
- We are free beings
