Kant certainly was sympathetic with the metaphysical tradition of rational theology that he criticized.

It would be nice, wouldn't it? if we could get comfortable about the problem of freedom. Kant thinks that we can't.

Empiricist philosophy always tends to be anti-philosophy (and is often proud of it).

We can never prove that we are free or integrate our freedom in any way into our objective conception of the causal order of nature.

Consequentialist theories begin with a very simple and undoubtedly valid point: Every action aims at a future end, and is seen as a means to it.

Kant thinks of judgment as a special faculty or talent of the mind, not reducible to discursive reasoning but cultivated through experience and practice.

Those who employ their modest talents as best they can do make a contribution to a better human future.
