While earlier work has emphasized Kants philosophy of religion as thinly disguised morality, this timely and original reappraisal of Kants philosophy of religion incorporates recent scholarship. In this volume, Chris L. Firestone, Stephen R. Palmquist, and the other contributors make a strong case for more specific focus on religious topics in the Kantian corpus. Main themes include the relationship between Kants philosophy of religion and his philosophy as a whole, the contemporary relevance of specific issues arising out of Kants philosophical theology, and the relationship of Kants philosophy to Christian theology. As a whole, this book capitalizes on contemporary movements in Kant studies by looking at Kant not as an anti-metaphysician, but as a genuine seeker of spirituality in the human experience.
