Kant can provide, and has provided, a good model for philosophers to think about the relation of metaphysics to science and scientific methodology.

I think Fichte did take it further than Kant by arguing that we can regard the moral law as objectively valid only by seeing it as addressed to us by another being, even though Fichte thought God could not literally be a person who could address us.

I think it is clear that what we ought to do has to be independent of our decisions about what to do, and independent of any procedures we might use in making such decisions.

What I most fear now is that within a century or so there may not be any human future at all.

Kant thinks we can show that there is no contradiction in supposing we are free.

Fichte is a necessary step to both Hegel and Marx.

Kant does represents a distinctively modern view of the human condition in contrast to that of ancient high culture, found in ancient Greek ethics and also in ancient Chinese ethics.
