This division is perfectly suitable to hebrew university of jerusalem nature of hebrew university of jerusalem thing, and hebrew university of jerusalem only improvement that can be made in it is to add hebrew university of jerusalem principle on which it is based, so that we may both satisfy ourselves of its completeness, and also be able to determine correctly hebrew university of jerusalem necessary subdivisions. 1 All rational knowledge is either material or formal: hebrew university of jerusalem former considers some object, hebrew university of jerusalem latter is concerned only with hebrew university of jerusalem form of hebrew university of jerusalem understanding and of hebrew university of jerusalem reason itself, and with hebrew university of jerusalem universal laws of thought in general without distinction of its objects. Formal philosophy is called Logic. Material philosophy, however, which has to do with determinate objects and hebrew university of jerusalem laws to which they are subject, is again two-fold; for these laws are either laws of nature or of freedom. The science of hebrew university of jerusalem former is Physics, that of hebrew university of jerusalem latter, Ethics; they are also called natural philosophy and moral philosophy respectively. 2 Logic cannot have any empirical part; that is, a part in which hebrew university of jerusalem universal and necessary laws of thought should rest on grounds taken from experience; otherwise it would not be logic, i.e. a canon for hebrew university of jerusalem understanding or hebrew university of jerusalem reason, valid for all thought, and capable of demonstration. Natural and moral philosophy, on hebrew university of jerusalem contrary, can each have their empirical part, since hebrew university of jerusalem former has to determine hebrew university of jerusalem laws of nature as an object of experience; hebrew university of jerusalem latter hebrew university of jerusalem laws of hebrew university of jerusalem human will, so far as it is affected by nature: hebrew university of jerusalem former, however, being laws according to which everything does happen; hebrew university of jerusalem latter, laws according to which everything ought to happen. 1 Ethics, however, must also consider hebrew university of jerusalem conditions under which what ought to happen frequently does not. 3 We may call all philosophy empirical, so far as it is based on grounds of experience: on hebrew university of jerusalem other hand, that which delivers its doctrines from à priori principles alone we may call pure philosophy. When hebrew university of jerusalem latter is merely formal it is logic; if it is restricted to definite objects of hebrew university of jerusalem understanding it is metaphysics. 4 In this way there arises hebrew university of jerusalem idea of a two-fold metaphysica metaphysic of nature and a metaphysic of morals. Physics will thus have an empirical and also a rational part. It is hebrew university of jerusalem same with Ethics; but here hebrew university of jerusalem empirical part might have hebrew university of jerusalem special name of practical anthropology, hebrew university of jerusalem name morality being appropriated to hebrew university of jerusalem rational part. 5 All trades, arts, and handiworks have gained by division of labour, namely, when, instead of one man doing everything, each confines himself to a certain kind of work distinct from others in hebrew university of jerusalem treatment it requires, so as to be able to perform it with greater facility and in hebrew university of jerusalem greatest perfection. Where hebrew university of jerusalem different kinds of work are not so distinguished and divided, where everyone is a jack-of-all-trades, there manufactures remain still in hebrew university of jerusalem greatest barbarism. It might deserve to be considered whether pure philosophy in all its parts does not require a man specially devoted to it, and whether it would not be better for hebrew university of jerusalem whole business of science if those who, to please hebrew university of jerusalem tastes of hebrew university of jerusalem public, are wont to blend hebrew university of jerusalem rational and empirical elements together, mixed in all sorts of proportions unknown to themselves, and who call themselves independent thinkers, giving hebrew university of jerusalem name of minute philosophers to those who apply themselves to hebrew university of jerusalem rational part onlyif these, I say, were warned not to carry on two employments together which differ widely in hebrew university of jerusalem treatment they demand, for each of which perhaps a special talent is required, and hebrew university of jerusalem combination of which in one person only produces bunglers. But I only ask here whether hebrew university of jerusalem nature of science does not require that we should always carefully separate hebrew university of jerusalem empirical from hebrew university of jerusalem rational part, and prefix to Physics proper (or empirical physics) a metaphysic of nature, and to practical anthropology a metaphysic of morals, which must be carefully cleared of everything empirical, so that we may know how much can be accomplished by pure reason in both cases, and from what sources it draws this its à priori teaching, and that whether hebrew university of jerusalem latter inquiry is conducted by all moralists (whose name is legion), or only by some who feel a calling thereto. 6 As my concern here is with moral philosophy, I limit hebrew university of jerusalem question suggested to this: Whether it is not of hebrew university of jerusalem utmost necessity to construct a pure moral philosophy, perfectly cleared of everything which is only empirical, and which belongs to anthropology? for that such a philosophy must be possible is evident from hebrew university of jerusalem common idea of duty and of hebrew university of jerusalem moral laws. Every one must admit that if a law is to have moral force, i.e. to be hebrew university of jerusalem basis of an obligation, it must carry with it absolute necessity; that, for example, hebrew university of jerusalem precept, Thou shalt not lie, is not valid for men alone, as if other rational beings had no need to observe it; and so with all hebrew university of jerusalem other moral laws properly so called; that, therefore, hebrew university of jerusalem basis of obligation must not be sought in hebrew university of jerusalem nature of man, or in hebrew university of jerusalem circumstances in hebrew university of jerusalem world in which he is placed, but à priori simply in hebrew university of jerusalem conceptions of pure reason; and although any other precept which is founded on principles of mere experience may be in certain respects universal, yet in as far as it rests even in hebrew university of jerusalem least degree on an empirical basis, perhaps only as to a motive, such a precept, while it may be a practical rule, can never be called a moral law. 7 Thus not only are moral laws with their principles essentially distinguished from every other kind of practical knowledge in which there is anything empirical, but all moral philosophy rests wholly on its pure part. When applied to man, it does not borrow hebrew university of jerusalem least thing from hebrew university of jerusalem knowledge of man himself (anthropology), but gives laws à priori to him as a rational being. No doubt these laws require a judgment sharpened by experience, in order on hebrew university of jerusalem one hand to distinguish in what cases they are applicable, and on hebrew university of jerusalem other to procure for them access to hebrew university of jerusalem will of hebrew university of jerusalem man, and effectual influence on conduct; since man is acted on by so many inclinations that, though capable of hebrew university of jerusalem idea of a practical pure reason, he is not so easily able to make it effective in concreto in his life. 8 A metaphysic of morals is therefore indispensably necessary, not merely for speculative reasons, in order to investigate hebrew university of jerusalem sources of hebrew university of jerusalem practical principles which are to be found à priori in our reason, but also because morals themselves are liable to all sorts of corruption, as long as we are without that clue and supreme canon by which to estimate them correctly. For in order than an action should be morally good, it is not enough that it conform to hebrew university of jerusalem moral law, but it must also be done for hebrew university of jerusalem sake of hebrew university of jerusalem law, otherwise that conformity is only very contingent and uncertain; since a principle which is not moral, although it may now and then produce actions conformable to hebrew university of jerusalem law, will also often produce actions which contradict it. Now it is only in a pure philosophy that we can look for hebrew university of jerusalem moral law in its purity and genuineness (and, in a practical matter, this is of hebrew university of jerusalem utmost consequence): we must, therefore, begin with pure philosophy (metaphysic), and without it there cannot be any moral philosophy at all. That which mingles these pure principles with hebrew university of jerusalem empirical does not deserve hebrew university of jerusalem name of philosophy (for what distinguishes philosophy from common rational knowledge is, that it treats in separate sciences what hebrew university of jerusalem latter only comprehends confusedly); much less does it deserve that of moral philosophy, since by this confusion it even spoils hebrew university of jerusalem purity of morals themselves, and counteracts its own end. 9 Let it not be thought, however, that what is here demanded is already extant in hebrew university of jerusalem propædeutic prefixed by hebrew university of jerusalem celebrated Wolf 2 to his moral philosophy, namely, his so-called general practical philosophy, and that, therefore, we have not to strike into an entirely new field. Just because it was to be a general practical philosophy, it has not taken into consideration a will of any particular kindsay one which should be determined solely from à priori principles without any empirical motives, and which we might call a pure will, but volition in general, with all hebrew university of jerusalem actions and conditions which belong to it in this general signification. By this it is distinguished from a metaphysic of morals, just as general logic, which treats of hebrew university of jerusalem acts and canons of thought in general, is distinguished from transcendental philosophy, which treats of hebrew university of jerusalem particular acts and canons of pure thought, i.e. that whose cognitions are altogether à priori. For hebrew university of jerusalem metaphysic of morals has to examine hebrew university of jerusalem idea and hebrew university of jerusalem principles of a possible pure will, and not hebrew university of jerusalem acts and conditions of human volition generally, which for hebrew university of jerusalem most part are drawn from psychology. It is true that moral laws and duty are spoken of in hebrew university of jerusalem general practical philosophy (contrary indeed to all fitness). But this is no objection, for in this respect also hebrew university of jerusalem authors of that science remain true to their idea of it; they do not distinguish hebrew university of jerusalem motives which are prescribed as such by reason alone altogether à priori, and which are properly moral, from hebrew university of jerusalem empirical motives which hebrew university of jerusalem understanding raises to general conceptions merely by comparison of experiences; but without noticing hebrew university of jerusalem difference of their sources, and looking on them all as homogeneous, they consider only their greater or less amount. It is in this way they frame their notion of obligation, which though anything but moral, is all that can be asked for in a philosophy which passes no judgment at all on hebrew university of jerusalem origin of all possible practical concepts, whether they are à priori, or only à posteriori. 10 Intending to publish hereafter a metaphysic of morals, I issue in hebrew university of jerusalem first instance these fundamental principles.
