	Critique of Practical Reason - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first Critique was a critique of the pretensions of pure theoretical reason to attain metaphysical truths beyon the ken of applied theoretical reason.
		Practical reason is the faculty for determining the will, which operates by applying a general principle of action to one's particular situation.
		Pure reason, when it attempts to reach beyond its limits into the unconditional realm of the noumenon is bound to fail and the result is the creation of antinomies of reason.

		However, as it is still pure reason, the knowledge of which is here the foundation of its practical employment, the general outline of the classification of a critique of practical reason must be arranged in accordance with that of the speculative.
		Reason, from which alone can spring a rule involving necessity, does, indeed, give necessity to this precept (else it would not be an imperative), but this is a necessity dependent on subjective conditions, and cannot be supposed in the same degree in all subjects.
		Reason, with its practical law, determines the will immediately, not by means of an intervening feeling of pleasure or pain, not even of pleasure in the law itself, and it is only because it can, as pure reason, be practical, that it is possible for it to be legislative.

	Critique of Judgment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Critique of Judgement (Kritik der Urteilskraft, 1790), also known as the third critique, is a philosophical work by Immanuel Kant.
		The first position, of causal determinism, is adopted, in Kant's view, by empirical scientists of all sorts; moreover, it led to the Idea (perhaps never fully to be realized) of a final science in which all empirical knowledge could be synthesized into a full and complete causal explanation of all goings-on in the world.
		In this section of the critique Kant also establishes faculty of mind that is in many ways the inverse of judgement - the faculty of genius.

		THEOREM I. All practical principles which presuppose an object (matter) of the faculty of desire as the ground of determination of the will are empirical and can furnish no practical laws.
		Pure reason is practical of itself alone and gives (to man) a universal law which we call the moral law.
		Only we must be careful to observe that these categories only apply to the practical reason; and thus they proceed in order from those which are as yet subject to sensible conditions and morally indeterminate to those which are free from sensible conditions and determined merely by the moral law.

	SparkNotes: Critique of Practical Reason: Context
		The Critique of Pure Reason is also known as Kant's first Critique, since it was followed in 1788 by a second Critique, the Critique of Practical Reason and in 1790 by a third Critique, the Critique of Judgment.
		For this reason, he was an enthusiastic supporter of the French Revolution; although saddened by its excesses, Kant regarded the revolution as moving toward a form of government that would recognize the equal worth of all people from a form of government that did not.
		As well as continuing from the Critique of Pure Reason, the Critique of Practical Reason lays the grounds for the Metaphysics of Morals, written nine years later in 1797, and which applies the general moral principles of the second Critique to a variety of cases.

		- This work is called the Critique of Practical Reason, not of the pure practical reason, although its parallelism with the speculative critique would seem to require the latter term.
		- All material practical principles as such are of one and the same kind and come under the general principle of self-love or private happiness.
		- All material practical rules place the determining principle of the will in the lower desires; and if there were no purely formal laws of the will adequate to determine it, then we could not admit any higher desire at all.

	Immanuel Kant - Critique of Practical Reason - Reviewed by Jeffrey Kinlaw , McMurry University - Philosophical Reviews ...
		As expected, Engstrom attempts to set the Critique of Practical Reason in the context of Kantâs moral theory (that is, its relation both to the Groundwork and the Metaphysics of Morals) and of the critique of metaphysics carried out in the First Critique.
		Engstrom attempts to initiate the reader by means of a distinct point of entry into the text, one that becomes an organizational theme for his introduction and one that contrasts with Andrews Reathâs introduction to the Gregor translation.
		Engstromâs introduction attempts to situate the Second Critique in the broader scope of Kantâs critique of traditional metaphysics and his attempt to reconstitute a foundation for metaphysics.

	UC Davis Philosophy 175 (Mattey) Lecture Notes: Practical Reason (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Some practical ends of reason are served by empirical rules of prudence, where "the entire business of reason consists in taking all the purposes assigned to us by our inclinations and uniting them in the one purpose, happiness, and in harmonizing the means for attaining this happiness" (A800/B828).
		Now that he has established that what would satisfy the practical ends of reason is of no theoretical use, Kant turns to the question of whether reason generates any ideas which would serve reason's practical ends.
		The second question is a practical question and as such does not involve the sort of transcendental considerations relevant to the main theme of the Critique.

		He followed this with Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, and then in 1785 Critique of Practical Reason and in 1790, Critique of Judgement.
		The epistemological material of the first Critique was put into application in the Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science; the ethical dictums of the second were put into practice in Metaphysics of Morals.
		Though he adopted the idea of a critical philosophy, the primary purpose of which was to "critique" or come to grips with the limitations of our mental capacities, Kant was one of the greatest of system builders, pursuing the idea of the critique through studies of metaphysics, ethics, and aesthetics.

		In the Critique of Practical Reason, he strives to show that the only way to act autonomously is to follow the moral law, and that whenever you follow the moral law, you thereby act autonomously.
		In the Critique of Pure Reason, both God and freedom were regarded as noumenal and thus neither provable nor disprovable.
		Pure practical reasoning is an exercise of our decision-making capacities that does not involve our desires.

	The Postulates of Practical Reason by Kant
		Since, nevertheless, it is required as practically necessary, it can only be found in a progress in infinitum towards that perfect accordance, and on the principles of pure practical reason it is necessary to assume such a practical progress as the real object of our will.
		Nevertheless, in the practical problem of pure reason, i.e., the necessary pursuit of the summum bonum, such a connection is postulated as necessary: we ought to endeavour to promote the summum bonum, which, therefore, must be possible.
		The worth of a character perfectly accordant with the moral law is infinite, since the only restriction on all possible happiness in the judgement of a wise and all powerful distributor of it is the absence of conformity of rational beings to their duty.

	Kant, The Critique of Practical Reason
		It results from the nature of this practical faculty itself that the complete classification of all practical sciences cannot be added, as in the critique of the speculative reason.
		as, for example, how he who would like to eat bread should contrive a mill; but practical precepts founded on them can never be universal, for the determining principle of the desire is based on the feeling pleasure and pain, which can never be supposed to be universally directed to the same objects.
		For a man must have a different criterion when he is compelled to say to himself: "I am a worthless fellow, though I have filled my purse"; and when he approves himself, and says: "I am a prudent man, for I have enriched my treasure."

		Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason is one of the seminal and monumental works in the history of Western philosophy.
		It is, however, a customary fate of human reason in speculation to finish its edifice as early as possible and only then to investigate whether ground has been adequately prepared for it.
		Indeed, it is the usual fate of human reason in the thrall of speculation to finish its edifice as soon as possible, and only then to investigate whether the foundation had been made firm.

	Island of Freedom - Immanuel Kant
		Kant's thought was mainly influenced by the rationalism of Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz and Christian Wolff and the empiricism of David Hume.
		His greatest work, the Critique of Pure Reason (1781), is a synthesis of rationalism and empiricism, both of which in themselves, he believed, gave a one-sided view of knowledge.
		In the Critique of Practical Reason Kant's concern is with the synthetic a priori principles which underlie our knowledge of what we ought to do.

		Kant and Beck have constructed such a coherent and consistent structure of reasoning and argument in 'Critique of Practical Reason' that any reader of enthusiastic and sensitive intellect will feel nothing less than inspired by its brilliance.

		Kant was born in, spent his whole life in, and died in Konigsberg in East Prussia.
		As reason is universal, possessed by all humanity, morality too is universal; we are all bound by duty.
		In his Critique of Pure Reason, he rejected the ontological argument, arguing that existence is not a predicate and that an ontological proof of God’s existence is therefore impossible.
