(Kosmann attaches himself very closely to Reinhold's views. His Magazin, as insignificant as this no. 719, and short-lived on that account, adopted on every point the side of Reinhold, and gave a portrait of him in its first number.)

It is every whit as justifiable for him to argue "von dem, was in der Sinnenwelt bedingt gegeben ist, auf das Unbedingte," as it was for Kant to argue—and he maintains that Kant did so—"von dem, was scheint (!), auf das, was ist.")

Without regard to religion, mankind is impelled towards virtue, because this is on the one hand identical with practical reason, and therefore the root of mental freedom, and at the same time is on the other the most essential source of happiness in all outward circumstances, and of the love and reverence of one's neighbors for oneself.)
