註釋Interestingly enough, this conception of modality enables Kant to reestablish these claims in a different domain. In the Critique of Practical Reason, Kant introduces a notion of "practical cognition," which relies on the ascription of modal categories to objects in accordance with their necessary connections to the moral law. It is in virtue of this use of modality that freedom, God and immortality are postulated to be actual, but only as articles of belief rather than knowledge. Therefore, Kant's treatment of modality plays an indispensable role both in his theoretical rehabilitation of traditional metaphysics and in his construction of a new metaphysics upon practical premises.
