Description: Religion within the Limits of Reason Alone by Immanuel Kant One of the greatest modern philosophers wrestles with the existence of God and the nature of a reasonable religion FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description One of the greatest modern philosophers wrestles with the existence of God and the nature of a reasonable religion Author Biography Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) was born in Königsberg, Prussia, where he remained his entire life. His others works include Critique of Pure Reason and Religion Within the Limits of Reason Alone. Review "Of the many attempts to interpret Christianity solely in ethical terms, Kants effort seems to me to be the most profound and illuminating. His "Religion Within the Limits of Reason Alone "illuminates primarily the great philosophers understanding of mans moral life, but also casts light, indirectly and directly, on some of the fundamental beliefs of Christian religion. The book is indispensable to students of ethics, important for theologians, and significant for all who are concerned about the human condition."--H. Richard Niebuhr"One of the most interesting and most human of Kants works. Although Kant speaks in the language of the Eighteenth Century, he is wrestling with problems which force themselves on us today--unless we dismiss all religion as pathological or swallow it blindly at the behest of some external authority."--H.J. Paton"One does not have to agree with Kants conclusions--and I do not--in order to acknowledge this as a great work in the history of philosophical theology. It is the product of Kants mature years, an effort to connect his religious thought with the rest of his epoch-making philosophy as presented in his three "Critiques.""--Morton White Description for Teachers/Educators Immanuel Kants teachings on religion were unorthodox in that they were based on reason rather than revelation. Although logically proving Gods existence might be impossible, Kant argued that it is morally reasonable to "act as if there be a God." His strictly rational approach was considered so scandalous that the King of Prussia forbade him to teach or write further on religious subjects, an order Kant obeyed until the kings death. A work of major importance in the history of Western religious thought, Religion Within the Limits of Reason Alone represents a great philosophers attempt to spell out the form and content of a religion that would be grounded in moral reason and also meet the needs of an ethical life.
