Document Summary
Out of third antinomy came the ought. Fourth antinomy: an unconditioned condition: a necessary being who is ideal, or who is an idea, and not, we could say, a positive reality that we can know. This invitation beyond is fundamental to what is the idea of god as an ideal. Necessity is a transcendental category: it is a pure category that we know immediately as a pure concept, we do attach a kind of oneness to this, attach to this necessity. Unified necessity into a person: means this person that we call god is an idea or an ideal, something that is produced by our own reason. Not the ontological status that can be known through the concepts of understanding. Agency of the idea will be extrapolated in german idealism: can see here the ambiguous nature of the ideal as something that has a strange ontology, can say we"ve proved the existence of god but that"s deeply.
