ETHICS AND EXEGESIS THE IDEA OF THE PHILOSOPHICAL THEOLOGY IN KANT’S <em>RELIGION</em>

Abstract

The philosophical theology of Kant’s Religion within the boundaries of mere reason could be understood as an interpretation of religious contents by his moral philosophy if one does not ignore that this interpretation - as an actualization of the way how one ought to interpret religious objectifications - is the moral act too, which confirms the basic thesis of the primacy of practical reason. The author approaches Kant’s thematization of religious contents from this standpoint and he is trying to show that the source of the philosopher’s two-century long dispute with the exponents of a historical faith is hiding in the nature of the relation between Kantian moral consciousness and objectivity in general.
