Critical Elucidatign of the A nalytic of PurefPractical Rearon (1)

"In ""Critical Elucidation of the Analytic of Pure Practical Reason"" Kant tries to clarify some points of his Moral Theory, which he discussed in the ""Analytic of Pure Practical Reason"". Kant's Phylosophy depends on the pure reason. But reason is distinguished into theoretical reason and practical reason. Theoretical reason endeavours to grasp the ohjects; and objects are given to senses. We accept objects through senses and then grasp them and make concepts. But practical reason has moral principles a priori and makes them realized in the world. So theoretical reason starts from sensation and progresses to concepts, but practical reason has the fundamental principle of morals and progresses to sensation (feeling). Accordingly theoretical reason and practical reason advance in opposite direction. But they are two sides of the same pure reason. So they must have the same construction. In the first Critique Kant starts from the theory of sensation. But there he enquires the conditions a priori of sensation, which don't depend on sensation but give foundation to it. And they belong to the pure reason. So in the philosophy of Kant the central point is pure reason, and this pure reason devides itself to two spheres of reason. And we must recognize the unity of reason behind two functions of reason. The next point is the distinction of the doctrine of happiness and the doctrine of morals. The former is based upon empirical principles. Following this doctrine, the observation of moral principles is for happiness. And the conditions of happiness must be known empirically. But moal theory must be based upon principles a priori of pure reason. Thus we must refuse the doctrine of happiness. But Kant does not negate the meaning of happiness for the human being. It is quite normal to desire happiness. But when there is moral conflict, we must prioritize moral principle. The principles of morals are the foundation of human life itself.
