 What is at issue is the actualization or realization of rational concepts or ideas, as typified, for Kant, by the ideas of God, Freedom, and Immortality produced by pure practical reason. Kant holds that, as a matter of fact (the Fact of Reason), we have such a faculty, which produces these ideas and also gives them motivating force for us. But there is still always the question of whether we shall actually choose to follow this purely rational motivation, and so Kant develops an elaborate theory of how we can cultivate and develop the means for strengthening and supporting it at the expense of motivations to the contrary (always still present due to unsocial sociability).
