Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this essay is a discussion on relationship between virtue and (personal) happiness in Kant’s practical philosophy, regarding his concept of the greatest good, and postulate of God as an attempt of conciliation of their contradiction. And, against the Vukovic’s claim that Kant in his transcendental philosophy conveyed attributes of God to man, it would be highlighted Kant’s need of postulating God and returning again in the game; against contrary A. Kozev, the concept of Transcendent, being-in-itself, will again be interpreted as the result of Kant’s transcendental position, not as its religious relict. The purpose of all of this is to show that when we put the question of personal faith in the field of transcendental ethics, which is for Kant equivalently to postulate of God (the greatest good), it comes to sort of break through of existentialism into Kant’s transcendental philosophy.
