Editing Critique of Practical Reason (section)

== Structure of the work ==
The work's structure is based on his earlier text, the ''Critique of Pure Reason''. After a preface and an introduction, the second Critique is split into a '''Doctrine of Elements''' and a '''Doctrine of Method'''. The former part is further separated into an ''Analytic'' and a ''Dialectic'' of pure practical reason. 
* The ''Analytic'' establishes Kant's theory of practical rationality. There he outlines and analyzes the principles of morality, shows that pure reason is [[Pure practical reason|practical]] (viz. that reason can drive or motivate our actions independently of any empirical conditions lying in the senses and feeling), discusses the object or aim of pure practical reason (the good), and deals with the non-empirical/pure incentives or "motivating springs" (''Triebfeder'') of morals. 
* The ''Dialectic'' is "the exposition and resolution of illusion in the judgments of practical reason",<ref>{{Cite book |last=Kant |first=Immanuel |title=Critique of Practical Reason|publisher=Cambridge University Press |year=2015 |isbn=9781107467057 |pages=13|translator-last=Gregor|translator-first=Mary}}</ref><ref>Kant, KpV 5:16.</ref> about topics like the highest good and the errors previous philosophers made by putting it as the ''basis'' and motivation of morality. It also discusses how the existence of God and the soul's immortality as "postulates of practical reason" fit into the idea of the highest good. 
The '''Doctrine of Method''' discusses moral education and how "one can provide the laws of pure practical reason with access to the human mind and ''influence'' on its maxims".<ref>{{Cite book |last=Kant |first=Immanuel |title=Critique of Practical Reason|publisher=Cambridge University Press |year=2015 |isbn=9781107467057 |pages=121|translator-last=Gregor|translator-first=Mary}}</ref><ref>Kant, KpV 5:151.</ref>
