Kant's Rational Faith

What is the point of Kant's philosophy? To give us a rational faith.

How important is Rational Faith important to you? Especially in chess? Is Kant all about chess?

Also important to note: the great philosophers are always 100 years ahead of their time

or even 150 years

not sure how this is relevant to chess...

And is chess relevant ?  What Kant should tell about chess and psychology?

about psychology of course, but also about your chess philosophy as some rational faith?

even if philosophy is not right, it is some rational faith

theraputic

but what you have say

I Kant understand that.

Of course you Kant understand, that is why only a faith! the point of his philosophy

You Kan only understand that you Kant understand

locked out of understanding

The line I have in mind is from the following play / monologue (entitled metaphysics of morals)

"The idea of a pure world of understanding, as a whole of all intelligences (to which we ourselves belong as rational beings, although on the other side we are also members of the world of sense), remains always both a useful and permissible idea for the sake of a rational faith (even if all knowledge ends at its boundary). Why? So as to effect in us a lively interest in the moral law, by means of the glorious ideal of a universal kingdom of ends-in-themselves (ie of rational beings), to which we can belong as members only if we carefully conduct ourselves according to maxims of freedom (as if they were laws of nature).

The rational faith makes it, in other words, permissible to play a role (Kant's philosophy of "as if" so to speak)

Kant made some critic of pure rationality. He could have made some critic on chess as pure rationality excluding metaphysics, groundzero of mores, o tempora.
