Religion Within The Boundaries Of Mere Reason

Do we need the rules of religion in order to be good people? Kant tackles this question in his 1793 book that remains a key text in the shaping of Western religious thought. Examining religious practices in relation to the Enlightenment movement and its firmly held beliefs in the power of reasons and personal liberty, Kant argues that God is unknowable, and human being have the responsibility to create a kingdom of God by acting morally. This angered the Church and government, but Kant felt that these two increasingly intertwined spheres wielded too much power-power that he wanted to return to individuals. Book jacket.
