This subreddit is kept alive by the subtle dialectic between snarky assholeish angry impulsive neurotic people and catholic pious but full of doubt also neurotic people

And of course, they are often the same person

In the third section of the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, is Kant saying that his argument is valid but not necessarily sound?

Is he saying that if rational beings' will is free (to choose the right thing to do) then the C.I. is valid, but we can't prove if that is true?

I'm reading Kant's Groundworks for the metaphysics or morals. Why is a will that is able to create moral laws necessary for the categorical imperative to exist?

I'm getting a bit lost in between BA 70-74. And what is the difference between having to follow the CI and the CI existing? Is it just a metaphysical curiosity?
