Philosophy suffers from an far more than convoluted introspection. One result's that innovations multiply unchecked. That a few occasions have observable factors will get reified right into a First reason or, in a extra secular age, to the thesis that each occasion is fatalistically made up our minds. one other trouble of convoluted introspection is that tiny yet the most important assumptions slip in, usually unawares, with the end result that densely argued counter-tomes are written in answer and no development is made towards any form of consensus.

Presumably reason represents it to us as a fruit of cultivation, and therefore as merit which perceptibly diminishes our self-conceit and 'Ought' implies 'Can': Kant and Luther 41 therefore either reproaches us or else imposes it upon us as an example to be followed in a suitable manner. This respect which we have for a person (really for the law, which his example holds before us) is, therefore, not mere admiration (second Critique, p. 185). Kant draws from this train of thought the startling conclusion that the sum total of what may be called natural philanthropic feelings are without moral value.
But to represent a feature of myself as not simply a brute fact about myself, as under my ultimate control, is to represent myself as free. This seems to me the real core of Kant's insistence that 'Ought' implies 'Can'. If the denial of this principle is said to threaten to expose morality as an illusion, it is not so much because it undermines the possibility of serious reflection on what is the good life, which is the life worth living; what it threatens to undermine is the ultimate significance of the practices of praise and blame.
