Immanuel Kant published this essay in October 1786 and it was translated into English in 1798. He oriented himself in the dark by using the inner knowing of the right and left hand. This inner felt reasoning can be useful in the knowing about the supreme Being. He came out against objective proofs of God and in favor of subjective feelings in this essay as he discusses Moses Mendelssohn and Friedrich Jacobi in relation to Spinoza. His view is much like the point of view of Soren Kierkegaard.
