kant: on why reason exists

Kant does not feel that there is any way to know the purpose of reason's existence. However, he does offer some insight into the thought of reason's existence. He feels that reason exists to tech us that there is something beyond experience that we cannot know. Through reason, we are givena more balanced perspective on the world. I feel that Kant is correct in his hypothesis on reason's existence. Reason is what makes us test our thoughts and go beyond measures to prove them. We would question nothing in life without this reason andtehrefore many of our inventions would not have ever come about.

I agree with you. With reason we think beyond things and question more because of it.
