Right from the beginning of any philosophical idea or thought, the most disputed and controversial problem in the arena of man’s thinking is the meta-physical concept of God. Different philosophers and educationists have given different views and explanations about the concept of existence of God. Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), one of the most influential philosophers in the history of world philosophy, believed that the reality of God cannot be demonstrated theoretically but should be believed practically as the foundation of moral life. One should not say God is but God must be, otherwise moral obligation is meaningless. Kant has rejected all the three proofs i.e., ontological, cosmological and physico-theological but favors only moral arguments for prooving the existence of God. He further stated that the concept of God should not be thought as an intelligent being, but as a moral being and the world was created according to man’s moral needs that is the reason, after Kant teleology leads to moral theology, one that is not about the possibility of prooving God’s existence but which is about stating that moral life is possible only if God exists and this moral or natural disposition helps him to become a whole or self which gives meaning to his intellectual restlessness and practical struggle of life. Hence in the present study, an analytical approach has been used by the researcher to analyze Kant’s primary and secondary sources related to metaphysical concept of God and its educational implication and present it in a lucid and systematic way.
