Résumé

Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason addresses religious issues about sin and salvation, as Kant explores a type of religion grounded in moral reason. This edition, with an updated introduction and revised translations, is ideal for students interested in the philosophy of religion, the history of modern philosophy, and theology.Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason is a key element of the system of philosophy which Kant introduced with his Critique of Pure Reason, and a work of major importance in the history of Western religious thought. It represents a great philosopher's attempt to spell out the form and content of a type of religion that would be grounded in moral reason and would meet the needs of ethical life. It includes sharply critical and boldly constructive discussions on topics not often treated by philosophers, including such traditional theological concepts as original sin and the salvation or 'justification' of a sinner, and the idea of the proper role of a church. This new edition includes slightly revised translations, a revised introduction with expanded discussion of certain key themes in the work, and up-to-date guidance on further reading.Introduction; Chronology; Further reading; Note on the texts; What does it mean to orient oneself in thinking?; On the miscarriage of all philosophical trials in theodicy; Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason; The end of all things; Index.Robert Merrihew Adams is Emeritus Clark Professor of Moral Philosophy and Metaphysics at Yale University, Connecticut, and Recurring Visiting Professor at Rutgers University, New Jersey. He is the author, among other things, of several books including Leibniz: Determinist, Theist, Idealist (1994), Finite and Infinite Goods: A Framework for Ethics (1999), and A Theory of Virtue: Excellence in Being for the Good (2006).
