Which is not part of Kant's argument for the immortality of the soul?
{ 1 } - The moral law commands us to promote the summum bonum, the necessary object of the rational will, that is to pursue virtue.
{ 2 } - Holiness is "a perfection of which no rational being of the sensible world is capable at any moment of its existence."
{ 3 } - The moral law commands the impossible, for it demands virtue, and only unending progress toward virtue is possible.
{ 4 } - Virtue is complete accordance of will and feeling (Note the importance of feeling here.) with the moral law, and this is holiness.
{ 5 } - Immortality of the soul is thus a postulate of the moral law; to deny it is to deny the moral law.
{ 6 } - If holiness is unattainable at any moment, it must require unending progress and therefore unending duration of the rational being which is called immortality of the soul.
