Kant's philosophy - The Ideal of holiness

Every rational being carries within itself the ideal of the God well-pleasing humanity, the representation of a perfectly holy human being. This ideal we ought to strive for, against it do we ought to meassure ourselves. In infinity no one may ever reach this ideal, but this, according to Kant, mustn't be an argument for discarding the ideal itself and for not striving to conform to it.Quote: 0:08Moral rigorism: 0:25The ideal of the God well-pleasing humanity: 2:34The four ideals of ancient pratical philosophy: 12:13The ideal of holiness humbles us: 29:48The ideal of holines serves as a model of creation and of judgment: 48:07The intelligible character of the human being is black or white, the empirical character can be grey: 1:14:31The good will shows itself not as a good but as a constantly improving empirical character: 1:29:45Our mode of thinking ought to and can conform with the ideal of holines, even if the mode of sense does not: 1:49:23Thanks: 1:54:48Kant speaks of the various ideals of practical philosophy in his handwritten estate on moral philosophy: http://korpora.org/kant/aa19/. He also deals with them in his lectures on moral philosophy: https://www.archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes271imma | https://archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes272imma | https://archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes0027kant_s1s1/mode/2up.
