Kant and Theology (Philosophy And Theology Series)

The philosophy of Kant is widely acknowledged to have had a major impact on theology. However, due to the vastness and complexity of Kant's philosophical system, contemporary theologians and ethicists tend to steer clear of his actual writings and often exhibit a misunderstanding of his central ideas on reason, morality and religion. Anderson and Bell aim to make Kant accessible again to new generations of students and to challenge twenty-first century academics to return to Enlightenment rationality. *Kant and Theology* **takes a fresh look at freedom, evil and human autonomy in Kant's *Critique of Pure Reason; Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals* and *Critique of Practical Reason,* as well as his *Religion Within the Boundaries of Mere Reason* and 'An Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment?', demonstrating how these core texts can inform debates about a range of topics including salvation, purgatory, ritual practice and the role of reason for religious people today
