Moral perfection thus provided for, _God_ must be postulated in order

Moral perfection thus provided for, _God_ must be postulated in order
to find the ground of the required conjunction of Felicity. Happiness
is the condition of the rational being in whose whole existence
everything goes according to wish and will; and this is not the
condition of man, for in him observance of the moral law is not
conjoined with power of disposal over the laws of nature. But, as
Practical Reason demands the conjunction, it is to be found only in a
being who is the author at once of Nature and of the Moral Law; and
this is God. [The same remark once more applies, that here what is
obtained is a _moral_ certainty of the existence of the Deity: the
negative result of the Critique of the Pure _(speculative)_ Reason
abides what it was.]

Laplace"s hypothesis had the great advantage of starting with

an extended mass already in rotation, but it violated fatally
the law of constancy of moment of momentum
Laplace"s hypothesis had the great advantage of starting with
an extended mass already in rotation, but it violated fatally
the law of constancy of moment of momentum. We should expect
this hypothesis to create a solar system free from
irregularities, very much as if it were the product of an
instrument-maker"s precision lathe. The solar system as it
exists is a combination of regularities and many surprising
irregularities.

The two first heads of the Ethical scheme, so meagrely filled up by

the ancient systems generally, are almost a total blank as regards
both Cynics and Cyrenaics
