Against the received view of Kant's theory of religion, this collection explores a hermeneutic tradition that interprets Kant's moral vision as affirming a legitimate role for non-moral features of religion.
Edited by Meredith Trexler Drees and Stephen R. Palmquist, the book explores a new way of interpreting Kant's theory of religion that has gradually gained traction among Kant scholars over the past half century, to the extent that in the past twenty years it has arguably overtaken the traditional way of reading Kant's theory of religion as the dominant hermeneutic paradigm. Throughout much of the 19th and 20th centuries, scholars read Kant's writings on religion as an attempt to reduce religion to nothing but morality. Following this view, one can dispose of any and all actual religious traditions and beliefs, as long as one lives a morally good life. During the past two decades the alternative new paradigm has come to be called the affirmative way of interpreting Kant's theology and philosophy of religion.
