Featured Article: Argument from morality

Immanuel Kant proposed an argument for the existence of God from morality
The argument from morality is an argument for the existence of God. Arguments from morality tend to be based on moral normativity or moral order. Arguments from moral normativity observe some aspect of morality and argue that God is the best or only explanation for it, concluding that God must therefore exist. Arguments from moral order are based on the assertion that moral order needs to exist in the universe. The argument from morality is noteworthy in that one cannot evaluate the soundness of the argument without attending to almost every important philosophical issue in meta-ethics.
