✷When Kant thought about Pure Reason, he did never do so at necessity to admit the fact of it, did it another meaning. Neverthless, in regard of what skepticism to existing truth, he was too be optimistic around welcoming modernized eras, in no holding skepticism to modernized eras' coming as positiveness, only engaged him in analyzing reason purely and earnestly.
It can be said that one of the ideological analysis was the acceptance of the two contradictions as Antinomy.
But basically his diagram is a whole-bird's-eye view, and if Heidegger understands it in the phase of decadence, Kant's point of view presupposes the subject of absolute reason. But such a thing is actually impossible. For example, if you are a really smart person, you will think that your head will move and act based on what you do not know with your head alone.


✷In other words, the reasoner is only a small part of the doer. He is certainly a reasoner when analyzing self-act with the doer's reflection consciousness, but what he calls a reasoner is him as an doer, and he as an doer is not moving only by the reflection consciousness. If you think about it from a different dimension, the doer is rather an existence. To borrow Levinas's words, [the "being" is already contracted with the being, and it cannot be separated from it alone."Existence" exists.(From Existential to Existential, translated by Osamu Nishitani, Chikuma Gakugei Bunko). But Levinas's expression is still hard. Because he is holding a nominal idea, but either he is always moving and changing with the beings, and probably will continue to do so. This is what Bergson thought of pure persistence of consciousnes (pure sustenance).


Pure persistence is a pragmatic re-recognition of the existence, because if anything becomes an actor, it is uncertain about the future, and it is nothing but uncertainty of the future.


Martin Luther wrote in "On the Improvement of the Christian Church": "The most important thing to know is that if the power of the whole world is in our hands, we must first prepare carefully and not rely on great power or reason to start something. For God does not allow, nor does He allow, good works to be done by each being's own power, or to be started by reason. God will destroy the good works that are done in this way." 」(Kodan-sha. Gakujutsu-Bunko, translated by Tomoro Fukai)


He then quoted Psalm III and verse I six.


Here, the part he sees as in our hands is our reason.


Kant, however, has often used the phrase "the arrogance around thought of reason" to modify his logic.


Next time, let's start with Luther Heidegger's circuit and think about what Levinas says about the existence.
