Kant and the Question of Theology
Twelve new essays on God, religion, and redemption in Kant, from both sides of the analytic/continental divide.
God is a problematic idea in Kant's terms, and yet the arguments will not go away: natural theology, divine action, miracles, revelation, life after death. This Cambridge volume gathers scholars inside and outside Kant studies to argue the questions out. Firestone's own chapter, 'Rational Religious Faith in a Bodily Resurrection,' makes the case that Kant's system can hold a doctrine of resurrection rather than merely a hope for immortality.
Praise
The latest contribution to a welcome trend in Kant scholarship. Well worth reading for anyone interested in the wide variety of contemporary approaches to Kant's theory of religion.
