What Is the Role of God in the Realm of Ends?

The purpose of this article is twofold: first, to demonstrate that, in Kant’s conception, God occupies a central role within the realm of ends, acting as a crucial constituent and legislator alongside other autonomous rational agents who voluntarily form its membership; second, to argue that this co-relationship is made possible through pure practical reason as a regulative principle, establishing an ontologically equal relationship between God and human beings within the realm of ends. The conclusion drawn is that, according to Kant, while God and humans may function differently within the realm of ends, they nonetheless do not occupy separate moral networks.
