The primacy of practical reason

Ralph C. S. Walker

pp. 191-209

Abstract

Kant holds that practical reason warrants belief in certain things for which theoretical reason finds no place, particularly freedom of will. Walker argues that Kant is right. For theoretical reason is not a means to truth, but a categorical imperative. We must follow it in interpreting the world, but only in limited respects.
