: It is my understanding that Kant said that if nature intended for us to be happy then nature would not have given us the ability to use reason, what are some of your views on this statement

......................
The abilty to reason can cause grave unhappiness; as well as the capability to achieve magnificence, which allows for the potential of great achievments which in turn can create happiness far beyond what the dullard will ever know. As far as natures hand in it -- I don't think it cares one way or the other.
