178 the cooperation of reason and sensibility. Thought extends further, but is empty of content. It is an unkantian assertion that, if the existence of things-in-themselves is otherwise assumed, that is, by practical philosophy, the categories are applicable to them: though it is true that this application is regarded as leading only to indefinite thought, not to any true knowledge.)

In no. 840, with its three successors which were devoted more to abstract ethics, Von dem Empirismus und Purismus in der Moralphilosophie, Von der Freiheit, Von den Erkenntnissgründen der Religion, Snell starts out from Kant's principles with regard to the relation of morality to happiness. Kant requires nothing superhuman. One may strive after happiness, the purest source of which is found in moral actions: only one must on every occasion ask oneself the question, whether means and end are also moral.)
