In the domain of Ontology, there are many scholastic theories and discussions which are commonly regarded by non-scholastic writers as possessing nowadays, for the student of philosophy, an interest that is merely historical.

Kant argues that while theoretical reason cannot prove the existence of God or freedom, practical reason demands them as necessary postulates for moral action. He posits that the moral law within us is an undeniable fact that points towards a higher order of existence. The text explores the relationship between virtue and happiness, suggesting they can only be reconciled in an afterlife. It represents a shift from skepticism to a faith grounded in rational moral necessity.
