14 We must be cautious at this point. Kant is not altogether clear on the degree of our “obligation” to hold this practical belief. In the Critique of Judgment he says: “… if [the moral agent] wishes to remain dependent upon the call of his moral internal destination … he must, as he well can … assume the being of a moral author of the world, that is, a God …” (Kant Selections, op. cit., pp. 516–517). But in the Critique of Practical Reason, in a similar context, he says that “… there cannot be a duty to suppose the existence of anything (since this concerns only the theoretical employment of reason)” (Kant Selections, op. cit., p. 362).
