Description
Kant's Moral Religion explores the philosopher's thoughts on religion and its relationship to morality. Allen W. Wood argues that Kant's doctrine of religious belief is an integral part of his critical philosophy, and that moral arguments are essential to understanding his views.
Wood examines Kant's conception of moral volition, defends his doctrine of the "highest good," and discusses the philosopher's use of moral faith as a rational criterion for religion. He also explores Kant's idea of radical evil in human nature and develops his theory of divine grace.
This book offers a clear and nuanced understanding of Kant's philosophical contributions to the study of religion, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring these complex ideas.
