Who is God to Manuel Kant?

Abstract

Kant was the one who tried to decisively walk the middle path between dogmatic affirmation and the rational demonstration of God's existence. He asserts that reason does not begin with concepts, but by common experience, so it takes as its basis something existing: but at the same time, this foundation would collapse if it does not rest on something that is absolutely necessary.1 Hence that if something is what exists for Kant, it is necessary to admit it as real and not as a contingent, there he bases his argument , in which reason goes in progression to the original Being.
Kant considers it elementary that the boundless whole, which is absolute reality, implies the concept of a single being, concluding that the necessary being exists in an absolutely necessary way. "If we do not assume a supreme Being capable of giving practical laws their effect and influence, we would also have an obligation to follow the concepts, which are decisive in the measure of our reason."
The starting point for Kant is human understanding, which (along with sensitivity) actively prints its pure forms (categories) on sensitive data, thus constituting the object of knowledge itself. That is, self-knowledge of pure understanding and pure reason, since both, with their "pure" concepts and ideas, constitute and regulate for themselves (a priori) our experiences and their objects.
